Tamper is soon to be regarded as one of the essential alternative rock bands to launch onto the Australian market. It's unique fusing of rock, trip-hop, dance beats, melody and harmony make it immediately familiar yet impossible to categorize. Tamper is the creation of Sam Francis, finding its origins in excuses from joining the real world, music as ultimate therapy, and a means to turn heads towards something different. Formed in 1997 with best mate Sean Steele, Sam wrote and demo'd volumes of material, refining their sound and overall creating what they thought took the 'ordinary' in popular music and made it something more. 2 Years of writing finally took them to seek an audience when they played their first live shows in the "@ You Band Competition". Tamper (then known as " Missing Ends") made it to the finals and so began their reputation for originality and diversity. Tamper has recently finished recording their Debut EP (the Tamper EP) and are looking towards launching it through a series of live shows in Sydney, Wollongong and Canberra. Their entry of 'Corporate Bitch' into the esteemed national song competition, " MusicOz" in 2002 saw them land a place as a semi finalist out of some 4000 strong entries. This years' entry picks up with the Bitch left off. . . In One Ear and Out the Other is straight, to the point pop: catchy and immediate, the chorus will be burnt in you head and keep your finger on that repeat button!
