[South-Punk Admin]

Southend Punk was sad to hear of the passing of Singer Mark Stewart, aged 62. (10th August 1960 – 21st April 2023). Mark was a founding member of The Pop Group. The band released two albums, Y (1979) and For How Much Longer Do We Tolerate Mass Murder? (1980), and the singles 'She Is Beyond Good and Evil' and 'We Are All Prostitutes' (both 1979), then split in 1981. The band reformed in 2010 and they released two further albums - Citizen Zombie (2015) and Honeymoon on Mars (2016).
