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 ↴
Nel momento in cui ci riaccomodiam
Siam pecore in odor di vizi di calamitа
Nel sacro avido incanto qui su "Teleternitа"
Para parapparappara
Para parapparappara
Hei hei ho
Para parapparappara
Para parapparappara
Hei hei ho
"Teleternitа"
Lа nei silenzi fatui che appassiron l'aldiqua
Di aggrapparci a eroi e resister non vi fu ragion
Ma or rifioriam dal sacro ventre dell'opportunitа
Chiamalo se vuoi miracolo o resurrezion
Para parapparappara
Para parapparappara
Hei hei ho
"Teleternitа"
Para parapparappara
Para parapparappara
Hei hei ho
"Teleternitа"
Padri di beate mondanitа
Nel giardino paventato di "Teleternitа"
Ritornelli di sofferente e tacita omelia
Giacciono scomposti nella pia credulitа
Che non sia il tuo doman la sola cosa a volar via
Para parapparappara
Para parapparappara
Hei hei ho
"Teleternitа"
Para parapparappara
Para parapparappara
Hei hei ho
"Teleternitа"
Padri di beate mondanitа.
The lyrics of Talco's song "Teleternità" address the need for distractions and leisure pursuits that are prevalent in our society. The song refers to the audience as "needy children" who seek idleness and waste their time watching TV. The use of "Teleternità" as a metaphor for television reveals the way it has taken over our lives and become our new religion. The reference to "pecore in odor di vizi di calamità" (sheep in the scent of vice and calamity) alludes to the audience being controlled and trapped by their own need for pleasure, while neglecting the devastating consequences.
The song shifts its focus to a call for a resurrection from the sacred womb of opportunity. The lyrics encourage listeners to seize their opportunities in life and break the grip of addiction to entertainment. The dismissal of "silenzi fatui" (empty silences) is a reminder that we must not be seduced by false idols or succumb to our fears. The repeated chant of "Para parapparappara, Hei hei ho, Teleternità" is an explicit expression of the song's message. The use of a repetitive rhythm and catchy melody is a deliberate attempt to draw listeners in and get them to join in the call for change.
Overall, "Teleternità" is a powerful critique of modern society's obsession with distraction, and a call to action for people to take control of their lives and seize the opportunities that are available to them.
