tantrum were formed in 1995 and recorded the album 'maisie's friend' that summer. The album was released on cassette in november 1995 and on cd in 1999 after re-mastering it. Work begun on the second album in the autumn of 1995 but it took four years to build a working studio. After recording FAKE TAN's first album 'Snippets' in 1999 and 2000 tantrum started work again on the second album in 2001: 'Advice to users' released in 2005. From 2005 to 2007 they worked on the second FAKE TAN album 'Pieces' which we hope to release in 2007. Work has begun on a third tantrum album.
