Tension (Swe)

Melodic / AOR act with members from Kungälv & Angered, Gothenburg formed in 1986. The early line-up featured female vocalist Anette Lökholm which they recorded at least one demo with. She was later replaced by Eva for the single 'Running Away'. After the single Johnny Söderkvist took over the vocal duties and they recorded another demo in 1988. The song "Let Me Out" from the tape was sent in to Rock-SM where it was discovered by Tomas Erdtman (Europe's Manager) who promised them stardom and a good place in the competition. However the band had internal fights and three of the members left the band just before Rock-SM would take place. In panic, the singer and bassist added new members and attended the contest anyway. They went to the finals (as promised by Erdtman) but no further. The band split-up shortly afterwards. Peter, Christer & Magnus later started the cover band Funfair.

Stefan Axfjord and Anders Tönnäng have also played with Time Limit (released a pop single in 1989 titled 'Mer Liv')
