about

EXCLUSIVE VIDEO STREAM OF 'COUNT' :
allpunkedup.com/tankengine-premiere-new-music-video-count/

TANKENGINE were recently described as a band with ‘staggering potential’, which if nothing else gave their spouses a good laugh, and TANKENGINE TANKENGINE TANKENGINE is their third EP. They are Adam Hiles on vocals & guitar (yourcodenameis:milo, Mammal Club, The Shitty Beatles), Ross Harley on vocals & really good bass (yourcodenameis:milo, Ross Harley, Crucial Taunt) and Dr Ivan Diaz on drums (Little Moscow, Lingua Vulgaris, Jolly Green Giants).

TANKENGINE TANKENGINE TANKENGINE is releasing September 23rd 2022 on cassette through Cruel Nature and digital via Sapien Records. Single COUNT will be available from 9th September.

TANKENGINE TANKENGINE TANKENGINE is preoccupied with the nausea-inducing realisation that we’ve lost the receipt for the future we were sold. There’s no going back now and the only way out is through, something that opening track HIT wrestles with as it careers down your local high street laughing its head off at the billboards pushing bright new dawns amidst the rotten residues of twelve years spent pretending everything is fine actually.

COUNT is not interested in being your friend or anything. Although it is perfectly civil it has a kind of weird intensity as it looks you over, as if to say that by literally buying into the economic consensus of the last five decades maybe all this is your fault too? No really, all that consumption doesn’t just leave you with a poorly tummy, people are dead mate. ANCHOR tests to destruction the idea that all wet-liberal-super-centrist-sensibles would rather kill us all for the sake of good optics than let any of the other players have a touch of the ball.

Nobody really knows what SWAN is about but it’s definitely smartly psychological and might be something to do with Carl Jung. It’s probably one of those counter-factuals about what the outcome might be if rock bands read books, but it could also be as dumb as your average house cat. Who can tell really? GLORY is about just that. It remembers when there were things to be proud about, when we used to make plans and execute them competently. It harkens back to a time of consequences and accountability. After all, you can’t spell revisionism without visionism.

TANKENGINE will be performing at Arctangent Festival as well as other live dates/festivals throughout 2023.

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

"a band that all the true heads and outliers of guitar music, both past and present, should get involved with"
