In May-June 2002 the band play in many squats, also outside Venice. Talco present the newest song "L'Odore Della Morte", against war on Iraq and America's foreign politics in Irak, Cile, Latin America, ecc.
October 2002: friendship between Talco and comrades of C.P.O. Gramigna (Padua) begins. Gramigna is a squat in Padua, always in front line and socially pawned: big bands (like Senza Sicura) have their roots there. In that night Talco's show featured "Sessant'Anni", new track on Democrazia Cristiana, the italian party that ruled Italy until not so long ago. Together with C.P.O. Gramigna the band played in many other fantastic gigs (the band played with Malasuerte, punk-rock band from C.P.A. Firenze Sud; in Piazza dei Signori, Padua, for the Liberation Day from nazi scum, 25 april and more...). Two more great and unforgettable shows: the ones during a strike against Berlusconi's government. On both occasions Talco played in the middle of the crowd on a camion, followed by a moving procession.
Grown un in Marghera, city famous for pollution and death caused by Petrolchimico industries, Talco are in first line to rise against the situation: a gig in Marghera's square, with lots of people in memory of the dead workers of "Petrolchimico", remind their political and social pawn.
In September 2003 live shows are interrupted in order to record the first studio disc: 10 higly-politic songs. "Signor Presidente", against Berlusconi and, mostly, antifascist, is presented at the C.S.O.A. Zona Bandita (Venice) together with Marones, comrades from Perugia.
October 2004: the first cd "Tutti assolti" is out, produce by Kob Records and Black Butcher Records.
Talco are a strightly antifascist and against racism ska-punk band. They believe in music independence and in the message it has to send against every kind of discriminations.

Talco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dal letargo dell'umanità
Desta la memoria
Dal sonno del capital
Dì di settembre
Il silenzio un sogno accecò
Lo spettro dell'odio
Un cancro il dollaro armò
Lungo la Carretera l'orda del dittatore
Assassinò la storia, l'utopia, la verità
Lungo la Carretera Austral il vento del terrore
Risucchiò una civiltà
Il fantasma dell'impero
Del mercato colonial
Sudicio d'odio passato
Su Santiago scenderà
Il fiore della giustizia
Figlio della libertà
Giace nel silenzio armato
Della Carretera Austral
Lungo la Carretera l'orda del dittatore
Assassinò la storia, l'utopia, la verità
Lungo la Carretera Austral il vento del terrore
Risucchiò una civiltà
Lungo la Carretera l'orda del dittatore
Assassinò la storia, l'utopia, la verità
Lungo la Carretera Austral il vento del terrore
Risucchiò una civiltà
The lyrics of Talco's song "11 Settembre '73" are a tribute to the victims of the Chilean coup d'état that took place on September 11, 1973. The song speaks about the "seed of history" that awakens human memory from the slumber of capitalism. It talks about how the silence of that September day blinded people and how the cancer of hate armed the dollar. The singers of the song are the people who were massacred on the Carretera Austral, the victims of the Pinochet dictatorship who saw their dreams and utopias vanishing. The lyrics portray the dictatorship as the ghost of an empire and a colonial market, dirty with the past of hate that descended on Santiago. The flower of justice, which was the child of freedom, remains silent, armed on the Carretera Austral.
The song is a powerful emotional and political testament to the victims of the coup and the dictatorship that followed. It condemns the violent and oppressive nature of the overthrow of the Allende government and the brutality of the Pinochet regime. It also speaks about the idea that history is never lost, but rather it grows like a seed awakening and reminding us of the past.

"La historia es nuestra y la escriben los pueblos"al final el pueblo no pudo escribir uno de los mejores procesos revolucionarios de la historia pero aprendimos la lección en todo el mundo y si dan un nuevo golpe de estado imperialista de extrema derecha y contrarrevolucionario el pueblo saldrá a defenderlo.
