Tankard is German thrash metal outfit that was founded in 1982. Based in Frankfurt, the group quickly captured local attention with its first show: in 1983, the band played in a local classroom and smuggled beer into the school using milk cartons. With a fair amount of notoriety, Tankard signed to Noise Records and dropped its first LP, Zombie Attack, with the imprint in 1986. Encapsulating the band's style of quick-fired songs about drinking, the album set the tone for Tankard's growing discography of alcohol themed records, including 2004's Beast of Bourbon, 2006's The Beauty and the Beer and 2014's A Girl Called Cerveza.
