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.

Besides that, he was also known through his songs, 三國戀 (Romance in the 3 Kingdom) and 給我你的愛 (Give Me Your Love) which both are the ending themes for two famous Taiwan drama series. 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.

All out of moves, all out of cards
All out of reason, all out of hope
All out of seasons, all out of growth
All out of joy, all out of sun
All out of laughter, all out of fun
I'm running out of the things that protect my heart
Be with me and don't leave me, I could use some work
Thought that I would die cause I found too much?
But I'm thanking you, I'm thanking you
Finding all the answers in every dear quire
I ain't right to nobody if I'm already right
So I'm thanking you, I'm thanking you
All out of rope, all out of chances
All out of songs, all out of dances
All out of umbrella, shelter for the rain
Been lost these days, been feelin' this pain
I gave you less, I thought I had more
Forgot all those pieces back there on the floor
I'm running out of the things that protect my heart
From this side of hell I can see that I'm broken apart
Be with me and don't leave me, I could use some work
Thought that I would die cause I found too much?
But I'm thanking you, I'm thanking you
Finding all the answers in every dear quire
I ain't right to nobody if I'm already right
So I'm thanking you, I'm thanking you
The lyrics to Tank's song Thanking You illustrate a feeling of being completely drained, having nothing left to give, and feeling broken. The first verse paints a vivid picture of being stripped of all that one has, including hope, growth, and joy. The chorus uses the phrase "I'm thanking you" many times, setting the tone of the song as one of gratitude, even in the midst of despair.
The second verse goes deeper into the emotional turmoil that the singer is feeling. They are running out of chances and have forgotten important pieces that were left on the floor. The reference to being on "this side of hell" suggests that the singer is in a dark place mentally and emotionally.
Despite all of this pain, the singer still expresses gratitude, thanking someone for being with them and helping them work through it. They acknowledge that finding answers and being "right" is important, but that they cannot do it alone. The message of the song seems to be that even in the darkest moments, there is always something to be thankful for and that asking for help can often lead to healing.
Overall, Tank's Thanking You is a powerful and emotional song that speaks to the struggles of the human experience, yet it offers a message of hope through gratitude.
