Tribal INK is a rapcore band from Sweden. The band formed in 2002, with their first up to date only album "Surrounded by Freaks" debuted in 2003. The Swedish TV channel "TV" 3 ran a contest looking for musicians to build a rock band. The show was called "Wannabe" and the TV viewers could follow them from week to week how a band slowly took form.

The five guys who won became Tribal Ink. They got the chance to do some gigs and record a single, called "To My Face," which didn't sell very well. Their label still wanted the band to record a full length CD anyway.

The band gained underground popularity because an unknown fan mislabeled several of their songs on many P2P file-sharing networks as songs from Linkin Park's then upcoming album Minutes to Midnight.

Since May 2008 the band began a period break with their vocalist Funky Dan involved in the alternative metal band Jupither at the moment. No word yet if the band decides to continue recording the album. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
