TNT

TNT was formed in the Norwegian city of Trondheim in 1982, by singer and rhythm guitarist Dag Ingebrigtsen, guitarist Ronni Le Tekrø, bassist Steinar Eikum and drummer Diesel Dahl. Having obtained a domestic recording contract with Vertigo Norway, a subsidiary of PolyGram, they released their eponymous first album the same year. His unique and powerful 4-octave range was the last element the band needed to break out of Norway and penetrate the global market. The album was a huge success in Scandinavia and the band was then offered a worldwide contract with Mercury/Polygram worldwide out of New York.
