Drunktank brings you a unique skatepunkmetal sound, blending fast, melodic, sing-along 90's skatepunk (in the tradition of Epitaph, Fat Wreck Chords and Burning Heart bands) with riffs and guitar harmonics from 80's metal. Added bonus is a female vocalist described by critics as an absolute powerhouse behind the microphone who channels the vibes of classic heavy/power metal greats like Dave Mustaine, Dio and Bruce Dickinson.
Hailing from The Netherlands and founded in 2003, Drunktank toured all across Europe, played festivals as Brakrock, Punkrock Holiday, Groezrock, Jera On Air, Xtreme Fest and opened for bands as Lagwagon, No Fun At All, Satanic Surfers, Strung Out, Voodoo Glow Skulls, Pulley, A Wilhelm Scream and many others.
In September 2023 Drunktank did a Canadian tour with Ten Foot Pole, where they played three festivals
(Music 4 Cancer, Envol et Macadam and Le Délüge) and five clubshows. In addition to this tour Drunktank released a new single ‘Kindle The Flame’, which marked the debut of the band’s new vocalist, Sarah Ockhuysen, and a Canadian repress of Return of The Infamous Four through Thousand Island Records.
In September 2024 Drunktank tours through South America where they play 13 shows in Chile, Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil. To promote this tour they’ll release their new single “Hell’s Taxmen” mid-September through Thousand Island Records.
Since the bands founding, Drunktank has released four EP’s and two full-length albums "The Infamous Four" (2010) and “Return of The Infamous Four” (2019). ‘Return Of The Infamous Four’ was released and distributed by over 20 recordlabels worldwide, got voted the second and fifth place at the top 100 of ‘best record of the year 2019 award’ at Melodic Punk Style and Skatepunkers, the two biggest polls in the skatepunk scene.
