That Fucking Tank
That Fucking Tank are an alternative rock duo that formed in Leeds, England, in 2003.
Andy Abbott (baritone guitar played through multiple amplifiers) and James Islip (drums) met in the early 1990s whilst they were still at Primary School, and aged 14 played their first gig together in Matlock as part of a short-lived band called Grin. Since 2003, they have used the name That Fucking Tank.
They have performed in the UK and Europe with other bands that play their style of music including Yourcodenameis:milo, Lightning Bolt, Oxes, Melt Banana and Don Caballero.[when?]
In 2008, the duo played Reading and Leeds Festivals.
In November 2013, the band played a UK-wide tour with Foals. A nod to their connection with Foals' former band The Edmund Fitzgerald which emerged from the same scene and era.[citation needed]
The band have released four albums through independent record labels of the north of England.[when?]
The members of That Fucking Tank along with Giles Bailey and Graham Pilling started their own record label, Obscene Baby Auction, in 2001; its first incarnation running until 2007. It has released EPs and albums by That Fucking Tank, Kill Yourself, Bilge Pump and others.
The band's two members are notable musicians outside of their music in That Fucking Tank.
