• Tantrum was a seven-member rock group that released two albums on Chicago's Ovation Records label. The group was composed of three female singers, Pam Bradley, Sandy Caulfield, and Barb Erber, as well as guitarist Ray Sapko, keyboardist Phil Balsano, bass guitarist Bill Syniar, and drummer Vern Wennerstrom.
• Their first album, entitled simply Tantrum, was released in 1978, while their second, Rather Be Rockin' was released the following year. They recorded a third and final album, entitled Breaking Away, which was to be released in 1980. The group disbanded first, however, leaving the album unreleased until August 8, 2005, when the English music company "Escape Music" released this album, along with the first two, all on a two-CD set. There is a post-hardcore French band founded in 1993 that also uses the name "Tantrum", but has nothing to do with this band..
