The Northern Territories

Since their first release 'Orange Moon' in 1997 the Swedish band 'The Northern Territories' reaches more and more adorers with their music. The sound TNT produce combines masterfully melancholy-driven electronic basics with acoustical instruments and sound sources.
The band was founded by Alexander Ericson (vocals, instruments and programming) and Stefan Sääf (vocals and programming), two students from Uppsala, that layed down their studies in computer science in order to follow their musical ambitions. Their musical influences, which can be made out in such differing bands as 'The Smashing Pumpkins', 'Depeche Mode', 'Propaganda' or 'Radiohead', reflect in the sound of TNT which has been constantly changing over the time.
Whereas their first Album 'Midnight Ambulance' in 1994 was dominated by pure electronics, the development of their music lead more and more to the implementation of acoustical instruments.
We met the musicians in Berlin initially, the city, they have also recorded their albums and the video to 'Midnight Ambulance'.
Since their parting from management and distribution after the release of their third album 'Satellite people', nothing was to be heard officially from 'The Northern Territories'.
Alexander Ericson has released some solo albums since... Please check the the official homepage for this.
