			'''Dink''' (styled '''DINK''') was an [[alternative (music)\|alternative]]/[[industrial rock]] band formed in [[Kent, Ohio]] in 1992.<ref>{{Cite web \|author=Staff Writer \|title=Documentary answers what happened to Kent band DINK \|url=https://www.beaconjournal.com/story/entertainment/music/2014/10/22/documentary-answers-what-happened-to/10667366007/ \|access-date=2024-09-11 \|website=Akron Beacon Journal \|language=en-US}}</ref> The band combined elements of [[industrial music]], [[Hip hop music\|hip hop]], [[hard rock]], and [[Industrial techno\|electronic dance]]. Dink's members included Sean Carlin ([[guitar]], [[Singing\|vocals]], [[programming (music)\|programming]]), Rob Lightbody (vocals, guitar), Jer Herring (guitar, vocals), Jeff Finn ([[Bass guitar\|bass]]), and Jan Eddy Van Der Kuil ([[Drum kit\|drums]]).

	~~is an American~~ band ~~from Ohio~~		==History==
			Dink initially released 3 EPs in the early 1990s. These EPs were exclusively printed on cassettes. The band eventually released one self-titled album, also mostly self-produced, in 1994 on [[Capitol Records]]. The release peaked at #31 on Billboard's [[Heatseekers Albums]] chart. It featured one song produced by [[Skinny Puppy]]'s [[Dave "Rave" Ogilvie]] (although he also mixed 8 out of the 10 songs). The song "Green Mind" was a hit, featuring some play on [[MTV]] and in the films ''[[Fear (1996 film)\|Fear]]'' and ''[[Double Dragon (film)\|Double Dragon]]'', and was also remixed by [[Sascha Konietzko]] of [[KMFDM]] on the promo single. "Green Mind" also charted on the ''Billboard'' [[Alternative Songs\|Modern Rock Tracks]] chart in early 1995 at No. 35, staying on the chart for 6 weeks. It also reached the [[Bubbling Under Hot 100]] chart at No. 18.<ref>{{cite web\|title=billboard\|url=https://www.billboard.com/artist/300958/dink/chart\|website=Billboard Hot 100\|accessdate=19 April 2015}}</ref>

	== ''~~'History'~~'' ==		The band's next two singles, "Angels" (which was featured in the film ''[[Bad Boys (soundtrack)\|Bad Boys]]'' during the Club Hell scene) and "Get on It" also were released. Dink toured briefly with bands such as [[Pop Will Eat Itself]], [[KMFDM]], and [[Lords of Acid]] to further promote their debut. The band toured with Pop Will Eat Itself and [[Compulsion (band)\|Compulsion]] from November 17 to December 17, 1994.<ref>{{cite journal\|last1=Borzillo\|first1=Carrie\|title=Popular Uprisings\|journal=Billboard Magazine\|date=26 November 1994\|page=14\|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=aggEAAAAMBAJ&q=dink+alternative+dance+charts&pg=PA14\|accessdate=19 April 2015}}</ref> The band also contributed the song "USA Sex" to the mid-1990s compilation ''It Was Made in Northeast Ohio''.<ref>{{cite web\|title=discogs\|url=https://www.discogs.com/Various-It-Was-Made-In-Northeast-Ohio/release/9240555\|website=Dink Discography\|accessdate=14 July 2018}}</ref>

	== '''~~Members~~''~~' ==~~		Dink recorded a follow-up album, also on Capitol in 1995, and some of the songs would be released on the limited edition EP ''Blame It on Tito'', which was released in 1996. The EP included a cover of the [[Neil Young]] song "Ohio" as well. The band then recorded additional songs for a second album to be released in late 1997 or early 1998, but was dropped by Capitol due to the changing musical climate. This led to the band's break up in 1998.

	== '''~~Discography~~''' ==		In 2014, film director Jorge Delarosa released a Dink documentary both on DVD and online, titled ''Gangrene: The Dink Documentary''. 4 out of the 5 band members were interviewed for the documentary. Also around this time, the full length version of the scrapped album ''Blame It on Tito'' was leaked/released online, consisting of 13 songs.<ref>{{cite web\|title=akron\|url=https://www.ohio.com/akron/entertainment/pop-music/documentary-answers-what-happened-to-kent-band-dink\|website=Akron Beacon Journal\|accessdate=14 July 2018}}</ref> Sean Carlin, Jan Eddy Van Der Kuil, and Jeff Finn created a new band named K.I.N.D. (Killer Instinct Never Dies), along with long time friend Steve Gang. A few songs were released on the band's official [[ReverbNation]] page.<ref>{{cite web\|title=reverbnation\|url=https://www.reverbnation.com/killerinstinctneverdies\|website=Official K.I.N.D.
