TAMTRUM is perpetually on the road for an unholy quest to summon more victims. Their ultra-powerful frantic live performances receive the unanimity of outstanding votes: TAMTRUM are above all a live band! And the use of fire-blowing, strip-tease shows and other fluo-chemical performances on stage reinforce their forceful, uncompromising and decadent image.
Before setting off to play some major European festivals, TAMTRUM still managed the time to release the «Versus» split-album with the other French band LOK-8.
In 2005, the duo was joined by old colleague Fixhead, and the TAMTRUM monster was once again locked in the studio to work on a new album. The band also made some eye-catching blitzkrieg appearances on several compilations that propelled TAMTRUM onto the playlists of every club across the world with their mega-hit «Le Son De La Pluie».
With a punk spirit, a «sex, drugs’n industrial» attitude, a dark goth/metal look, harsh elektro sequences, distorted screams and locomotive drum patterns TAMTRUM is here to shake your ass! Described by many as the most promising and fastest rising French underground talent of the moment, TAMTRUM often gets compared music-wise to a band like HOCICO with a rather MANSONesque attitude… Their music and lyrics (in French & English) are morbid, disturbing, nasty, sick, noisy and per definition hyper-danceable.
Their next hi-energy and merciless aggressive assault is planned for release in the spring of 2006 on the band’s new label Alfa Matrix, before the band starts another fucking bloody and shocking tour on speed across Europe… Keep the fainthearted kids secluded at home – heads will fall and clubs will burn, burn, burn!

Tamtrum Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To shatter me through your hallways
Into echoes you can feel
And rehearse the way you heal
Make them dance
Just like you
Cause you make me move
I'll run away with your foot steps
I'll build a city that dreams for two
And if you lose yourself
I will find you
High on words
We almost used
We're fireworks with a wet fuse
Flying planes with paper wheels
To the same Achilles heels
Make them dance
Just like you
Cause you make me move
Yeah you always make me go
I'll run away with your foot steps
I'll build a city that dreams for two
And if you lose yourself
I will find you
(yeah you always make me go)
Open up your skies
Turn up your night
To the speed of life
Turn up your night
Put your love in lights
Turn up your night
I will find you
Make them dance
Just like you
Cause you make me move
Yeah you always make me go
(yeah you always make me go)
I'll run away with your foot steps
I'll build a city that dreams for two
And if you lose yourself
I will find you
(yeah you always make me go go go go go)
Turn up your night
(go go go go)
Turn up your night
(go go go go turn it up turn it up)
Turn up your night
I will find you
The song Milky Boy by Tamtrum is a love song that explores the transformative power of love. The first two lines of the first stanza suggest that love takes on a spiritual dimension- it is a 'silent love' that is calling faith. The singer calls on the lover to 'shatter' them through their hallways, suggesting a desire to break down walls and barriers that may exist between them. The singer wants to be felt and heard even after they are gone, to leave a lasting impact on the lover which they can turn to for healing. The reference to echoes in the third line might suggest that the singer wants to be remembered by the lover's spirit, even after they are physically parted.
The second stanza uses images of firework explosions and paper planes, suggesting a frenzied, unstable passion. Despite this, the singer is committed to the lover and wants to build a city that 'dreams for two.' The repetition of the phrase 'make them dance' suggests that the singer is urging the lover to take action, to do something that will impress or excite them. The idea of 'footsteps' suggests a desire to follow the lover, to mimic their journey and be a part of their life.
