"Next up were a relatively new band on the local scene: Joey Ryan and
the Inks. The five-piece took the stage in Roy Orbison shades and with
a confident swagger that I found surprising in a band that seems so
fresh out of the gate. Ryan and his crew shook the shack with
boundless energy and unabashed pop sweetness that brought to mind the
current "twee" sound as well as the doo-wop acts of the 1950s. I am
already ready to predict that the The Inks will be in the running for
First Avenue's 2009 Best New Bands showcase."

Check out a new Joey Ryan & The Inks Interview with Jon Behm on www.culturebully.com!
Really enjoyed the interview! If we had to name the most talented member of the Inks, it would definitely be Matt :) Come to the Entry tonight if you have a chance!
Hey, you're invited to a fantastic evening of live local music, this Friday, the 10th of October, at 331 Club in NE Mpls. Music starts at 9:30, and there's no cover! Alicia Wiley opens, my band is on second, and my good friend Jim O'Neill rounds out the show. Awesome venue, hope you can make it.
hey joey, i just wanted to say one more time.. great job last night. the band was fantastic, like i said, everything i want out of a rock band. keep it up and we hope to see you around.. maybe do a show together sometime?
please do your best to promptly post a picture of Joey Ryan and the Inks all standing together next to each other. i've cut and pasted a few different pictures together, but it's just not the same.
