Info from Janne Starks EncyclopediaTRP stands for The Rocking People, which was later (more metal) chaged to Tyrannosaurus Rex Prisoners. The band was formed 1981. The single was quite amateurish metal in the vein of Lezlie Paice or Shakespeare. They made another recording in 1984, which was never released. Guitarist Eddie Persson was later a member of Little Yankees.
Official BioTRP – wild and untamed teenage heavy metal from the small town of Fjälkinge (Kristianstad Municipality), Southern Sweden, 1981-1985. The TRP boys were still in elementary school when they cranked out and recorded their heavy metal / hard rock music. In 1982 they recorded and released their one and only legendary single. TRP immediately became popular with the local hard rock youth gang’s attracting rowdy crowds.
TRP performed wild and loud live shows gilded by the bands furious use of pyrotechnics, smoke bombs, leather, studs and gallons of fake blood. Their stage shows combined with their music got them banned as it was said that they were "obscene and promoted satanism".
TRP, an acronym for Tyrannosaurus Rex Prisoners, didn’t let that stop them and instead recorded several studio tracks with their new axe wizard lead guitarist shredding hard. However, these amazing recordings were never released...until now that is. Then in 1985 TRP performed their last show. This their final stand was an historic event of all out heavy metal mayhem supreme and the whole stage went up in flames.
"I had welded a guitar slide with one end closed and filled it with chimney test smoke pellets, then I screwed it to the top of the neck of the bass. It burned constantly for two songs, but the effect was cool. We spat blood, as usual, and Peter just kept firing off bombs like crazy. He managed to shoot one right up into Fredrik’s ass during a guitar solo…"
