About Tank

1. Tank are an English heavy metal band formed in 1980 by Algy Ward, and were part of the new wave of British heavy metal movement that was prominent in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The original band disbanded in 1989, reuniting in 1997 and disbanding again in 2003. Starting in 2008, Tank had two versions of the band that were both active at the same time, one led by guitarists Mick Tucker and Cliff Evans, and the other being led by Ward himself. After Ward’s death in May 2023, his Tank lineup would disband. Tucker/Evans' Tank has released four studio albums since its formation, while Algy Ward’s Tank released only two during its tenure: Breath of the Pit in 2013 and Sturmpanzer in 2018. 2. Durrell Artaze Babbs (born January 1, 1976), better known by his stage name Tank, is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, actor and podcaster. He began his career as a backing vocalist for Aaliyah and Ginuwine, and signed a recording contract with the former's record label, Blackground Records as a performing act in 1998. His 2001 single, "Maybe I Deserve" peaked within the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 and led his debut studio album, Force of Nature (2001). It peaked within the top ten of the Billboard 200, while his second album, One Man (2002), peaked within the top 20 and was met with mixed critical reception. After a five-year hiatus, he entered a joint venture with Motown to release his third album, Sex, Love & Pain (2007). Yielding his furthest commercial success, it peaked at number two on the Billboard 200 and was preceded by the Billboard Hot 100-top 50 single, "Please Don't Go". He parted ways with the labels in favor of Atlantic Records to release his following albums: Now or Never (2010), This Is How I Feel (2012), Stronger (2014), Sex, Love & Pain II (2014), and Savage (2017), the latter of which spawned the platinum-certified single "When We". Following his ninth album Elevation (2019), his tenth album, R&B Money (2022), was announced as his final due to hearing loss in his right ear, which hampered his musical ability. In 2007, he formed the R&B trio TGT with contemporaries Ginuwine and Tyrese, with whom he released one studio album (2013). Along with recording, Tank has been credited with songwriting and production work for other artists, including Kelly Rowland, Chris Brown, Monica, Jamie Foxx, Aaliyah, Beyoncé, Alicia Keys, Omarion, LeToya Luckett, NLT, and KeKe Wyatt.
