The Tough Alliance, or TTA, is an electro duo of childhood friends Henning Fürst and Eric Berglund from Gothenburg, Sweden. The pair debuted with two EP’s in 2004 before releasing their debut The New School on the influential local Service imprint a year later.

Debut The New School received a wider release in mid 2009 while awaiting new material.
