TNT was founded in Trondheim, Norway in 1982 by ex The Kids singer Dag Ingebrigtsen (vocals), Ronni le Tekrø (guitars), Steinar Eikum (bass) and Diesel Dahl (drums).
Their debut album (TNT – 1983) was somewhat special since the lyrics were Norwegian. It is still rated as a classic album in Norwegian music history.
Tell No Tales (1987) was the big breakthrough for the band. They made success, especially in USA, where they hit the Billboard Top 100 charts. They toured USA and Japan. Internal problems in the band resulted in Diesel Dahls departure. He formed his own band, TinDrum. Ken Odiin replaced Diesel as drummer and in 1989 the band released Intuition. Some disagreements on the progress in the band resulted in a pause. Ronni le Tekrø and Morty Black formed a hobby band called Bad Habbitz, who played cover songs og Thin Lizzy as well as the band Vagabond.
In 1992 a new album called Realized Fantasies was released. Ken Odiin quited the band after the release of Intuition. The new drummer was John Macaluso from New York. He quited the band after disagreements during the Japan tour and formed the band ARK with Tore Østby.
