Tamtrum
Some Atomik Songz


I don't know what "Tamtrum" means. At first I thought it might be a German word. But I couldn't find it in the online German-English dictionary I looked at. Besides, this is a French band. So I'm left to guess that it's just a misspelling of the English word "tantrum," as in "angry outburst." And it's not the only word they (intentionally?) misspell. (See also "atomik," "songz.")

Whatever their orthographic shortcomings, if indeed Tamtrum is meant to be evocative of some sort of rage, they succeed. This is an angry record.
