Metal Anarchy

Tank have officially confirmed their new lineup. The band now consists of guitarists Mick Tucker and Cliff Evans, bassist Gav Gray, drummer Mark Cross, and vocalist Marcus Von Boisman. The group are currently booked to perform at next year’s Hell’s Heroes VI Festival, which will be held in Houston, TX on March 21-23.

Each member commented:

Gav Gray:

“I’d been on a hiatus and and started to enjoy home recording, then Mick called…. `You wanna play bass for Tank?`…. I couldn’t say no, Algy was an inspiration since seeing The Damned supporting Motorhead in Newcastle… I get that Tank had evolved over the years but this was a real rock n roll band, a band that kept the name alive playing the music I grew up on with swagger, no nonsense and I cant wait to be part of it.”

Mark Cross:

“I’m really stoked to be back in the Tank camp and be part of the new production. I’ll be laying down drums for the new album this fall and hit the road in 2024. We started this venture in 2011 (12 years ago) touring Europe and it always felt to me like an unfinished chapter when I left the band. Well, our paths meet again and I’m looking forward to working with Mick, Cliff, Marcus and Gav and play classic and new Tank songs for ya!

Mick Tucker:

“When we were looking for a new frontman we were very fortunate to come across Swedish vocalist Marcus Von Boisman who was fronting his own band – Knights Of The Realm. He came very highly recommended by Hammerfall guitarist/producer Pontus Norgren who thought Marcus would be ideal for Tank. He wasn’t wrong! This is the line up we’ve been looking for and everyone is 100% dedicated.”

Marcus Von Boisman:

”I was really flattered when I was asked to join this legendary band! Tank! A band that has been an influence for so many through the years! We already have a killer album in the making and writing songs together has been so much fun! I’m looking forward to the release and the upcoming shows. Let’s see how loud the Tank fans can scream!”

Cliff Evans:

“It really feels like we’ve got the right guys on board now so we can get to work and head back out on the road with the confidence of knowing we have the best line up for the job. Gav and Mark are a really solid rhythm section and frontman Marcus has the voice and attitude that perfectly suits our music. Can’t wait to get on stage with these guys and make some noise!”

Tank will soon be announcing further dates and a new album for 2024.
