TNT is a Norwegian
hard rock
/glam metal
band from Trondheim
, formed in 1982. The band has released twelve studio albums, three EPs and two live albums while going through numerous line-up changes since its formation. Guitarist Ronni Le Tekrø is the only consistent member of TNT.
in 1982, by vocalist and rhythm guitarist Dag Ingebrigtsen
, guitarist Ronni Le Tekrø, bassist Steinar Eikum
and drummer Morten "Diesel" Dahl
. Securing a national record contract with PolyGram
subsidiary Vertigo Norway, they released their self-titled debut album
the same year — their only album that features Norwegian lyrics — and got a hit with the single "Harley-Davidson". In August 1983 Morty Black replaced Steinar Eikum on bass, and the following year American
vocalist Tony Harnell
became TNT's new frontman, making his debut on their album Knights of the New Thunder
. His unique and powerful 4 octave range was the final element the band needed to break out of Norway and into the world market. The album was a huge success in Scandinavia
and the band then was offered a worldwide deal with Mercury/Polygram worldwide out of New York. Knights was then released in the U.S. in 1985 and the video for "Seven Seas" got heavy rotation on MTV and the album entered the billboard charts.
That line-up recorded one more album, Tell No Tales
in 1987, before "Diesel" Dahl parted company from TNT the following year after some turbulent times within the band. Tell No Tales produced TNT's biggest hit, the single "10,000 Lovers (In One)
". Tell No Tales marked a slight change in sound from melodic Euro-metal to a more palatable hard rock style, with Le Tekrø and Harnell gaining a reputation as a talented duo. The album was the best selling release in Norway and Sweden that year (outselling hugely popular artists like Michael Jackson
and Def Leppard
). Tell No Tales also saw the band establishing a mainstream following in Japan and the U.S. Promotional Videos for "Everyone's a Star
" and "10,000 Lovers (In One)" were featured on both European and American MTV
. They were also featured on Headbangers Ball
. The band supported Stryper on a sold out arena tour in the U.S. followed by a tour with Twisted Sister and Great White as well as headlining shows in large clubs in the U.S.
Kenneth Odiin
became TNT's new drummer and played on TNT's fourth studio album, Intuition, in 1989. This release marked a more AOR
-oriented sound, still maintaining a little of the hard rock edge of the previous album. Intuition was another huge success in Scandinavia and Japan. It was also the band's best received American release and saw the band embarking on their first headlining tour of the U.S. which broke attendance records across the country in small theaters and large clubs, thanks to the prominent display of the video for the title track on MTV.
. The band negotiated a new (and generous) record contract with Atlantic Records
, and released the studio album Realized Fantasies
and the live recording Three Nights in Tokyo
, both in 1992. However, Atlantic did a poor job of promoting the album in the States (assuring that TNT would never find huge success in America) and also the rest of the world. The same year they decided to take a break, choosing to focus on various solo projects. In 1996 the compilation Till Next Time – The Best of TNT was released, and Harnell, Le Tekrø and Black reformed TNT with session drummer Frode Lamøy
. That line-up recorded two albums, Firefly
in 1997 and Transistor
in 1999.
, was released in 2004. Months after the album release, Morty Black decided to leave the band due to personal and professional differences, and Sid Ringsby
took his place for the following concerts and the album All the Way to the Sun
, which was released in the fall of 2005. A single, "Sometimes" was released on July 25 in Norway. At the end of the year Victor Borge
became TNT's new permanent bassist.
Tony Harnell left the band in April 2006 for both personal and professional reasons, although his final show was on June 30, when TNT played the Polar Rock Festival in Storsteinnes, Norway. He was replaced by British hard rock singer Tony Mills
(of UK act Shy
, coincidentally supporting TNT for Harnell's farewell show). Despite leaving the band, Harnell collaborated with iMagic Films and producer Darren Paltrowitz on a live DVD featuring his performance with the band in Madrid, Spain from April 1, 2006. The Live in Madrid
CD + DVD package was released in Japan in August 2006 and elsewhere in the world in September.
In 2007 TNT released their tenth studio album, The New Territory
to mixed reviews and controversy amongst the fans. Their eleventh studio album, Atlantis
, was released on September 22, 2008 in both Norway and Japan. The album was influenced by The Beatles
and Queen
, and was mixed by Tommy Hansen, who also worked on My Religion and All the Way to the Sun. On December 12, 2008, the original TNT line-up, consisting of Dag Ingebrigtsen, Ronni Le Tekrø, Steinar Eikum and "Diesel" Dahl, did a one-off reunion during a concert that was done to celebrate Ingebrigtsen's 50th birthday.
, was released in Japan on December 15, 2010. "Diesel" Dahl has said that the album is an attempt to recapture the old TNT sound. Bård Svendsen, who provided keyboards and backing vocals on Knights of the New Thunder and Tell No Tales, worked on the album as well. The album was mixed by Tommy Hansen, and has been described by him as "Def Leppard
on speed
". It was released in Europe in January 2011. The album has been retitled as Engine for the Scandinavian and American release. In Norway the album was released as an exclusive joint publishing deal between the Narvesen
chain of convenience stores and TNT on December 27. In an interview on the Norwegian radio show Stjerneklart in January 2011, Ronni Le Tekrø stated that it might be TNT's last album. "I can promise that it will be the very last TNT album," he said, "It might not be fully decided, but we might feel that this album is an honorable end to albums [being released] from the band. TNT will not split up, but I can't see that we're going to make a new studio album for many years."
On April 27, 2011 keyboardist Dag Stokke
, who had toured with TNT since April 1987 and appeared on every album from Realized Fantasies to A Farewell to Arms, died of cancer. He was replaced by Roger Gilton.
