1) Tank (stylized as … Read Full Bio ↴There are mutliple artists with this name:
1) Tank (stylized as TANK) is the name of two British heavy metal bands, both of which stem from a band formed in 1980 by Algy Ward (ex-The Saints, ex-The Damned). The band's brand filthy metal was loved by both punk and metal fans. The original band is known as part of the new wave of British heavy metal movement. Tank was often compared to Motörhead as both bands were trios fronted by singing bassists, and played a loose, almost punk-styled metal music with often colourful lyrics. Lemmy, of Motörhead, helped them get their first record deal, and "Fast" Eddie Clarke was picked as producer for their debut album, "Filth Hounds of Hades". Heavily influenced by bands like Motörhead, they were a productive force of the NWOBHM movement, and are still making music in the 21st century. After legal and creative disputes, Algy Ward led one version of the group while guitarists Mick Tucker and Cliff Evans led the other (Tucker/Evans Tank).
2) Tank is the stage name of an American R&B singer, songwriter, musician, and producer, Durrell Babbs.
Tank was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on January 1, 1976 and he was raised in Clinton, Maryland, a suburb of Washington, D.C. Tank took an instant interest in singing and playing the piano, partially due to his alliance to religion — his cousin directed the church choir and helped the aspiring vocalist foster his singing talent from an early age. His stage name comes from his chiseled physique. A multi-sport athlete in high school, he had the opportunity to play college football. However, Tank decided to focus on music, and his talent eventually led him to an opportunity to sing background vocals for Ginuwine during one of Ginuwine's tours. Next, he found himself singing with Aaliyah and then Blackground Records founder Barry Hankerson, and his son (and company president) Jomo Hankerson took notice, offering Tank the opportunity to become a solo artist. In 2001, Tank realized his ambitions, seeing his debut album, Force of Nature, released to a national audience. This LP rendered the Top 10 R&B ballad, "Maybe I Deserve".
The next year, Tank released his second album, One Man. The single of the same name had chart success as well. He also co-produced the smash hit single "One Minute Man" by Missy Elliott in 2002.
Tank has also made a name for himself as a producer and writer, working with artists such as Dave Hollister, Marques Houston, Omarion, Jamie Foxx, Donell Jones, Monica among others. Along with The Underdogs, he has worked with many different artists over the years and was also a contributor to the score of the film adaptation of the musical Dreamgirls, in which he also had a cameo.
Tank sold what was to be the lead single to his 3rd album, "I Luv Dem Girls", to Marques Houston who renamed it "Strip Club" (this song appears on Marques Houston's 3rd solo album "Veteran"). Tank has recently worked on Kelly Rowland's second album Ms. Kelly on the tracks "The Show" (a duet with Tank himself) and "Ghetto" featuring Snoop Dogg. "Ghetto" is also set to be the album's second single.
Tank released his 3rd solo album entitled "Sex, Love & Pain" on May 15, 2007. The first single of this album is "Please Don't Go". Tank has also formed a group with Ginuwine and Tyrese named TGT. Their first single will be a remix of "Please Don't Go", with an international tour entitled "The Shirts Off Tour" and search for a fourth member to follow.
Tank, along with Tyrese, are set to perform in West Oakland at the Paramount Theater on November 2, 2007.

TANK also is the spokesperson for computer game, "激戰" (GuildWars) and composed a song for the game.
Since then, "TANK" had became one of the most popular keyword among new artists to be searched in search engines.
While TANK was choosing songs to be fitted to his debut album, he had uploaded several songs and had set a poll on wretch.cc to be listened by his friends and let them vote for songs to be fitted in his new album. To his surprise, thousands of fans came to his blog to listen to his songs.
TANK's debut album, Fighting 生存之道 (Fighting, The Law of Living) is a fusion of Hip Hop, RnB, Rock and traditional Chinese music. The album has been on the Taiwan album sales chart (G-music chart) number 1 spot for 3 weeks beating Tank's own idol, A Mei, Guang Liang and Rainie Yang.

Got you shakin', screaming aloud, I'm a fool
Make my face your chair, leakin' everywhere
Ride it out, I don't care what you do
Every time I lick it, you be losing it
These young boys didn't know what to do with it
You got it all on my face, I love the way that it tastes
It won't go to waste
That's what you get everyday
When you fuckin' with me
Fuckin' with me

You got the right to be selfish
For all of them nights you was helpless
Them mornings too, let's make it breakfast
Them mornings too, let's make it breakfast, oh yeah
Every time I lick it, you be losing it

Oh, yeah
Yeah Did you see this scars
Tank starts with a question, “did you see this scars,” as he tries to reveal the pain he feels inside. He has been hurt before and he is opening up to his lover who appears like she understands what he feels.
Trying to get through this flesh
Making its way to my heart
Wanting to destroy what's left
Watch your soul what at the start
Of destruction at its best
Is that why you appeared, cause I what you felt
Tank is trying to explain how he feels, how the pain has been so intense he feels it in his chest. He wants to prevent anything that may damage his already tired, fragile soul. He’s finding hope because he has found someone who seems to have appeared and understood what caused his pain.
Cause I can feel your love is pulling me back
Brick by brick, your love is building me up
You're still so perfect, yeah
Tank feels his lover's love, which has started pulling him towards the person he was before his pain made him built up walls all around him. He is becoming whole again, and he appreciates his lover's being and how her love is slowly building him up.
Wait till you see my smile
Wait till you see what's next
Wait till you see this light
That's burning through my chest
Hey, watch how high I fly
How fast this feeling spreads ooh
Never ever would have hoped this would all be
Available to me again
Oh, but then I felt your love! It's putting me back
Brick by brick, your love has built me up
You're still so perfect, yeah
Tank is excited because he feels something he never thought was possible - happiness. He is looking forward to showing his lover how happy she has made him, how the light has come back to him and it's spreading fast. He is in disbelief that he got another chance at happiness, all thanks to lover's loving actions that have been building him up bit by bit.
You've taken everywhere I've been
And promise that I never have to go there again, again
Now This time we gon' get away
Cause I'm stronger than I've ever been, eh!
Where I am is no longer where I've been oh
Now, look at me, I'm stronger than I've ever been
Ooh ooh ooh aah!
I'm stronger and it's all
All because of you
Tank acknowledges that he has been through a lot, and his new lover has held his hand and guided him away from those painful times. He is stronger because of her, and wherever he is now, it's not where he once was. He is confident he can face whatever comes his way, and he is not scared anymore.
But I'm stronger!
I'm still missing pieces after everything
But I'm stronger! Can't believe it 'coz she said she'd never leave
But I'm stronger!
But if she'd never left, I would have never seen
That I'm stronger!
You made me, you made me stronger! (You made me)
Strong, strong, strong! Oh, oh, oh stronger!
Tank knows he has been through tough times and is still finding it hard to heal. However, he is stronger, thanks to his lover's support, and even though she said she would not let him go, she made him stronger by leaving. He appreciates her leaving because without the separation, he couldn't have seen how much he has grown and how much stronger he has become.
