Tora

Tora is an acclaimed Australian electronic band that formed in 2013 in Byron Bay, New South Wales. The band consists of Thorne Davis, Shaun Johnston, Jo Loewenthal, and Jai Piccone. Their musical journey began in high school as an indie-rock band, but they transitioned to electronic music, which proved to be a pivotal point in their career, leading to their distinct sound. This sonic evolution allowed them to blend chillwave and electronica, creating a unique musical identity.

In 2013, Tora released their self-titled debut EP, which demonstrated their innovative approach to music production. The single “Calming Her” achieved considerable recognition, receiving consistent airplay on national radio and accumulating over 100,000 plays within three months of its release. This early success facilitated their participation in major music events, including the Falls Festival Byron Bay, where their ambient harmonies and intricate rhythms resonated with attendees. The band’s 2017 debut album, “Take A Rest,” further established their presence in the music industry, earning positive reception from prominent figures such as Elton John and Annie Mac. International touring, with performances at festivals like Glastonbury and The Great Escape, showcased their ability to connect with diverse audiences worldwide, leading to millions of streams across various platforms.

In 2019, Tora released their second album, “Can’t Buy The Mood,” which was entirely self-produced, reflecting their artistic control and vision. The band maintains a commitment to musical innovation, continuously exploring new sounds and production techniques within the electronic music landscape. This dedication positions them as a notable act within the genre, consistently pushing creative boundaries.
