TANKENGINE are a rock band from Newcastle upon Tyne.

The trio comprise of Adam Hiles on vocals & guitar (Yourcodenameis:milo, Mammal Club) Ross Harley on vocals & bass (Yourcodenameis:milo, Tomahawks for Targets) and Iván Diaz on drums (Little Moscow, Lingua Vulgaris).

Debut EP "TANKENGINE" (released 17th May 2019) showcased their ability both as players and writers; tuneful and melodic, harkening back to the US college/noise rock and UK post-punk that everyone else remembers so fondly and currently indulges such pale imitations of. The tracks showcased a twisted motorik approach fashioned through a lifelong diet of rock music.

Their second EP TANKENGINE TANKENGINE builds on these influences and adds texture. While the anger is still palpable there’s now added control, dynamics and drama which make the punches hit harder when they come.

This record is also available on streaming services via www.sapienrecords.com

"This is one of those releases that doesn’t piss about: ‘Mambo’ blasts in with a squall of discordant guitar and shuddering bass that immediately calls to mind Shellac and The Jesus Lizard, and it’s one of those ‘holy shit!’ Moments where you remember why coming into this kind of stuff in the early 90s was such a revelation. It’s the combination of power and unpredictability that was exciting them and still is now, and Tankengine have both in spades, zooming off every which way on the crash of a cymbal."
