Band Tank was formed in 1980 by Algy Ward. The band continued on for years through lineup changes and waning commercial fortunes before finally disbanding in 1989.

Ward resurrected the band in 1997 playing tour dates around Europe and Japan for a couple of years. A new album, Still At War, emerged in 2002.

In 2007, both Algy Ward and Mick Tucker/Cliff Evans went their separate ways with the band, but decided to keep making music under the "Tank" name.

Now both bands uses name Tank. The Original Tank aka Tucker/Evans Tank and Algy Ward's Tank are 2 different bands
