He&#8217;s always been a massive fan of Skid Row so it must be so cool for him to be able to front those guys on stage and sing the songs he&#8217;s grown up with. We&#8217;ll miss touring and recording with ZP but we wish him all the very best for the future&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Mick Tucker: &#8220;We recorded one of our best albums with ZP (&#8216;Valley of Tears&#8217;) and shared the stage for many great shows around the world during the three years that we worked together. He will be missed but as usual, we thrive on a challenge and are constantly looking to up our game and push the boundaries that little bit further. We&#8217;ve always been an admirer of Readman&#8217;s particular vocal style and range but never thought the opportunity would arise where it would be possible for us to work together&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>David Readman: &#8220;It feels great to make music with a British band with a vast musical history. It&#8217;s been over 20 years since I played in a British band, this is a sort of home coming for me. Mick also lives in the Netherlands, so many connections, I couldn&#8217;t miss this one.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In recent years TANK have been fronted by some of the best rock vocalists around including former Rainbow frontman Doogie White, who recorded the &#8220;War Machine&#8221; and &#8220;War Nation&#8221; albums plus former Dragonforce and current Skid Row vocalist ZP Theart who&#8217;s featured on the best-selling album, &#8220;Valley of Tears&#8221;. With the addition of David Readman means that TANK can once again move forward into unchartered territory and take their trademark style of British rock to a whole new level.<\/p>\n<p>Readman&#8217;s first live appearances with TANK will be in Hamburg (Pussy Galore) on July, 7th and the Rockharz Festival in Ballenstadt, Germany on July, 8th.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a little taster of what&#8217;s to come from the new David Readman fronted TANK:<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"TANK &#039;Valley of Tears&#039; featuring DAVID READMAN (vocals)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Qj8i6BKNtCg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>TANK \u2013 lineup:<br \/>\nDavid Readman (vocals)<br \/>\nMick Tucker (guitars)<br \/>\nCliff Evans (guitars)<br \/>\nRandy Van Der Elsen (bass)<br \/>\nBobby Schottkowski (drums)<\/p>\n<p>TANK \u2013 official website:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/tankofficial.comial.com\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/tankofficial.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">TANK have successfully recruited former Pink Cream 69 vocalist David Readman into their ranks to replace the recently departed ZP Theart who is now a full-time member of US rockers Skid Row.
