The Tough Alliance, or "TTA", is an electronic pop music duo from Gothenburg, Sweden. The duo first came together in 2003 and consists of childhood friends Henning Fürst and Eric Berglund. Previously on Swedish record label Service, they have recently started their own label, 'Sincerely Yours'.

With three EP's out, "Make It Happen," "Holiday," and "New Waves," and two full-length studio albums, "The New School" and "A New Chance", they have been given much critical acclaim and have established themselves on the Swedish indie-scene. "New Waves" recently received an 8.0 on Pitchfork, although it was released back in 2006. This is because the EP is just now becoming available in the States through Summer Lovers Unlimited label. Their live shows have also been given much attention in the Swedish media due to their unusual onstage antics which include swinging baseball bats and singing to recorded music. Their critics claim they glorify violence in general and hooliganism in particular, something The Tough Alliance denies. During a show in Stockholm, Sweden, the two band members were thrown off stage after swinging a baseball bat.
