Great Ocean Road based Tank Dilemma is an Australian piano-driven act lead by songwriter/singer/keys man Richard Tankard (often referred to as 'Tank'). Sometimes hard funk, sometimes tight swing - with healthy nods to jangled pop, soul, psychedelia and jazz -
Tank Dilemma has earned a reputation for producing eclectic, brilliant albums. Complete with horns and rock solid soul rhythm section, the act has delighted festival and pub crowds with it's musicianship and vibrant stage presence. Having moonlighted as keyboardist for Richard Clapton, Shane Howard, Broderick Smith, Wolfgramm Sisters, Jimmy/Mahalia Barnes, Checkerboard and TOSAW, Tank Dilemma is Richard Tankard's vehicle for original piano/organ led groove based music.

'Alright Already' also features Ruben Shannon (bass) and Jon Emry (drums), who have toured and recorded with legendary Australian artist Shane Howard. Matt Hewson (sax) and Matt Trenery (trumpet) provide the horn-section punch; both Trenery and Tankard are also members of Blue Heat multiple Australian award winning 7 piece outfit (featuring Marco Goldsmith), who have recorded 3 albums and supported BB King in Melbourne. Another Blue Heater - Brad Harrison - has also featured with Tank Dilemma, as well as drummer Billy Bevan (Skyrockats), Karl Laskowski (alto sax), Geoff Cain (bass), and current drummer Brenton Smith (Tom Richardson Project). The band is joined on occasion by star Melbourne guitarist, Shannon Bourne, including the gigs at the world famous Port Fairy Folk Festival of 2010.

Members have also played with Neil Murray, Piffen Yonnies, Gorgonzola, Kutcha Edwards, Andy Alberts and Tonchi.

While most of the music styles are mostly of American origin, Tank Dilemma's Great Ocean Angle is distinctly Australian. Humor and irony sit comfortably alongside the heavier themes over the 11 original tracks here on Alright Already, which follows on from their debut album Inner Soul. A third Tank record is slated for release in 2010.
