Seething Wells

Steven Wells (10 May 1960 – 24 June 2009) was a British journalist, author, comedian and punk poet born in Swindon, Wiltshire. He was best known for ranting poetry and his provocative, unapologetic music journalism. In June 2006, he wrote in the Philadelphia Weekly about his treatment for Hodgkin's lymphoma.

He was a support act to various northern English punk bands, which Peel liked including The Fall, Delta 5, The Mekons and Gang of Four, along with fellow ranting poet Attila The Stockbroker. A year later, he did a session for Peel's show in 1982.
