WALTER SCHREIFELS
AN OPEN LETTER TO THE SCENE [ACADEMY FIGHT SONG]

Walter Schreifels is probably best known as a member of acts such as Gorilla Biscuits, Quicksand, and Rival Schools, but his first release under his own name shows that when the distortion is stripped away, Schreifels truly shines. An Open Letter to the Scene features everything from folk-inspired rockers (“She Is to Me”) and jangly tracks reminiscent of Teenage Fanclub (“Ballad of Lil’ Kim”) to intricately arranged pop songs like “Arthur Lee’s Lullaby.” The most impressive songs, however, are Schreifels’s take on CIV’s “Don’t Gotta Prove It” and Agnostic Front’s “Society Sucker”; both lend new emotional resonance to the hardcore classics.

WELCOME TO THE FUTURE

Tattoos are designed for permanence, and the technology behind them is in no hurry to change either. For more than a century, the basic setup used to put ink in the skin of sailors, soldiers, and other skin art fans has been tweaked and fine-tuned while never deviating too far from the original design. After all, tattoo artists aren’t known for chasing the next big thing. But that doesn’t mean that inventors, scientists, and entrepreneurs looking for a quick buck aren’t trying to come up with one. Here are five ways that technology is attempting to change the way we tattoo and get tattooed.

WET + WILD: JAYME FOXX

Normally when a woman is described as “incendiary,” it’s hyperbole, but in the case of Jayme Foxx, it may be an understatement.
