Terror Punk Syndicate (TPS) formed as a duo in the summer of 2002 in Karlskoga, Sweden, by John David Karlgren and Giovanni Falcone. John Karlgren, an experienced keyboard player for many years, spent an additional two years buying vintage synthesizer equipment to setup the band's headquarter, Studio Stök, where the 2-track demo CD Limited Edition was recorded in early July 2004.

The demo featured the first ever released tracks Horizon and Dysmorphia, written by the duo and produced by Karlgren. The demo was sold in 50 copies at the music festival Arvikafestivalen, Sweden, a few days later.

The duo was immediatelly approached by a Swedish record label, but asked for more time to develop any further material, as there really didn't exist much more except for the demo CD. In December 2004, TPS splitted and became John Karlgren's one-man project instead. Karlgren and Studio Stök has since then relocated to Örebro, Sweden.

In December 2006 the Swedish electronic music label Progress Productions announced that Terror Punk Syndicate is to be featured on the upcoming Born/Evolve/Progress 2 compilation disc. Karlgren is still working on material for a future debut album, which has now been in the making for 2 1/2 years.

Terror Punk Syndicate has also done several remixes for bands such as Tyske Ludder, Sturm Café, Basswood Dollies and Hioctan.
