TANKARD: 'The Beauty And The Beer' To Receive U.S. Release Next Month

August 29, 2006

Those Frankfurt, Germany thrash beer-drinkers TANKARD — guitarist Andy, singer Gerre, drummer Olaf and bassist Frank — are at it again on their new studio album, "The Beauty And The Beer", to be released in the U.S. by Spain's Locomotive Records on September 12.

Lead shouter Gerre yells that, "first we have album name, then cover artwork, then we write some songs around that. That's how things work."

Given their rising amount of respect in international extreme music circles, this circuitous route of creation seems to work. Next year, they will celebrate the quarter-century mark together.

The long sloppy wet road of TANKARD started in 1986 with "Zombie Attack", followed up the following year with "Chemical Invasion". Subsequent TANKARD attacks are as follows: "The Morning After" (1988),"Alien" (1989),"The Meaning Of Life" (1990),"Fat Ugly & Live" (1991),"Stone Cold Sober" (1992),"Two-Faced" (1994),"The Tankard" (1995),"Disco Destroyer" (1998),"Kings Of Beer" (2000),"B-Day" (2002),"Beast Of Bourbon" (2004). TANKARD has also had a 1989 "best-of" and a graphic 2006 DVD where burping is an artform.
