Tankcsapda is a Hungarian rock band formed in 1989.

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 first few albums on small independent labels. Their first album to reach good status was their fourth album, Az Ember Tervez (Man Makes Plans), released in 1995.

In 2003, they 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.
