music/fucked The career of Fucked Up has been, well, fucked up. The Canadian band blew up the formula for hardcore with the album Hidden World, played stunt gigs such as performing for 12 straight hours in NYC, then released The Chemistry of Common Life, a massive wall of noise complete with violins. Despite that, this two-CD collection of B-sides and alternate ......
blog/dan-wheldon-and-his-wife-got-matching-tattoos-hour Dan Wheldon and his wife had their initials - DW and SQ - tattooed on their wrists the night before he was killed in a horrific crash at the Las Vegas Indy 300. Wheldon, 33, and his wife Susie, who was his long-time personal assistant until they married in 2008, got inked to show their love for each other.
Mark Waters, who ......
blog/david-beckhams-new-tattoo-tweeted-victoria-beckham David Beckham has got himself another inking and this time wife Victoria Beckham has debuted the tattoo, by tweeting a picture with baby Harper holding his hand. The photo was posted of the tattoo which spells the word 'Love' on his left hand, and shows the little girl holding her father's finger in the same snap.
As we all ......
blog/motor-ink Every great artist knows that truly special ink requires a precise blend of planning, design, aesthetics and character. In the world of custom motorcycle fabricators, those characteristics are also of paramount importance to create powerful machines with enough attitude and edge to satisfy the riders who mount them. Dave Perewitz understands both of these dynamics as one of the most ......
blog/red-red-wine A couple weeks ago, our friends at Hunter PR brought over a couple bottles of wine from one of their new clients, Apothic Red. Apothic Red is a blended wine that we all seemed to enjoy. It's easy to drink and it's easy on the wallet. We're also digging the label. Thanks to Marieke and friends at ......
blog/f-love Inked's own June cover girl just got some fresh ink that unfortunately was too late to use in our photo shoot. Avril and reality TV star Brody Jenner walked in to Mark Mahoney’s Shamrock Social Club tattoo parlor in Hollywood to get their matching ink done. The tattoo they shared together? The word "FUCK" tattooed on their ribs ......
games/uncharted-2-among-thieves Picking up a couple of years after Sony’s blockbuster title Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, this sequel finds Abercrombie & Fitch adventurer Nathan Drake searching for the treasures of Marco Polo’s lost fleet. When Drake recovers historical documents indicating that Polo was searching for the mythical city of Shangri-La, he retraces the famed merchant’s footsteps into a hail of ......
inked-spots/taylor-street-tattoo Opening up a shop in Chicago’s Little Italy wasn’t easy for Keith Underwood. In fact, the Taylor Street owner has become almost as famous for the battle he faced trying to get his business open as he has for his art. “You can’t just rent and open here,” says Underwood of his difficulties. Strict laws about property ......

A couple of years after moving from Albany, New York, to Los Angeles, In This Moment frontwoman Maria Brink almost gave up on her dream. It was mid-2004 and she was living alone, had no friends, hated her day job, and none of ......

music/acdc The 30-year trail of wreckage behind Aussie rockers AC/DC includes 16 studio albums, one deceased singer, and countless shattered eardrums. This boxed set collects the songs that were left by the side of the road, including 18 studio rarities and 29 live tracks, stretching back to a blazing live version of “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap” from ’77. Among ...

music/trans-am Trans Am have always had a relatively esoteric identity, so it’s hard to know if the band are being sincere when they claim that Thing was originally commissioned as a “sci-fi horror adaptation of Romeo and Juliet.” Regardless of its inspiration, the album is evidence that this electro-inflected rock band haven’t lost any of their spark since their ......
music/walter-schreifels 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 ......
music/jonsi Jón “Jónsi” Þór Birgisson gained fame as the frontman for Icelandic post-rock act Sigur Rós, but his solo release sees him transposing his gift for orchestral explosions into a pop-friendly context (mostly because he’s singing in English). Jónsi’s voice is so distinctive that the songs sound similar to Sigur Rós’s in many ways, but sweetly syncopated tracks ......
music/foxy-shazam In an increasingly homogenized musical landscape, acts like Foxy Shazam are a rarity, which is what makes the band’s major-label debut, Foxy Shazam, all that more impressive. Combining elements of glam rock, classic rock, and soul, this 15-song collection effortlessly switches from huge pop anthems like “Count Me Out” to orchestrally driven show-tune-esque numbers like “Evil Thoughts” without a ......
drinks/roky-erickson Roky Erickson is an American treasure, and his first album in 14 years is a not-so-subtle reminder that his relevance hasn’t waned. Produced by Will Sheff and featuring his band, Okkervil River, True Love Cast Out All Evil is a heady mix of psychedelia, pop, and ambient experimentation. On tracks such as Crazy Horse–inflected “Goodbye Sweet Dreams” it ......
music/foo-fighters Which is wilder to consider: that it’s been 18 years since Nirvana released Nevermind or that Dave Grohl’s Foo Fighters have released six albums since? While Nirvana was dragged kicking and screaming into playing arenas, Grohl built the Foos and their sound to fill them. Among the 16 tracks assembled on their first greatest hits collection are obvious ......
music/paramore When a young band like Paramore explodes out of nowhere (Franklin, TN?) there are always repercussions. On their third album, the group’s pint-sized singer with the giant voice, Hayley Williams, outlines the trail of mistrust and broken relationships. Fame has taught her that you “can’t be too careful anymore” (“Careful”), and later, on “Feeling Sorry,” she looks back ......
