Tankcsapda is a Hungarian rock band.

History

Tankcsapda was formed in 1989, in Debrecen, Hungary. The group started off as a power trio with only drums, bass and guitar playing punk rock, but continuously expanded their repertoire with different elements of rock music. They initially performed in small venues and published their album on small independent labels. The band's first important commercial development came in 1995, with the release of their fourth album, Az Ember Tervez (Man Makes Plans), which has become the first gold record for Tankcsapda. In 2003, they finally crossed over to the mainstream, with the release of their Élni vagy Égni (To Live or to Burn) album, and two singles off this record: "Be Vagyok Rúgva" ("I'm Drunk") and "Örökké Tart" ("Lasts Forever"). After the album of 2003 and the successful compilation album that followed, they released one of their heaviest albums to date, Mindenki Vár Valamit (Everyone's Expecting Something), succeeded by a live album Elektromágnes (Electromagnet). Their newest studio album, released in 2014, is Urai vagyunk a helyzetnek (We Are On Top of the Situation). Tankcsapda completed its first US tour in the fall of 2015 with Sledgeback.
