TORA plus Milan Ring
Tora are a 4-piece Indie Electronic band originating from Byron Bay, Australia.
The name Tora is derived from the Greek word which means "now".
Having met in primary school and played in various high school bands together over the years, Jo Loewenthal (Vocal/Guitar), Shaun Johnston (Bass), Jai Piccone (Vocal Keys) and Thorne Davis (Drums) eventually formed Tora in 2013.
Best known for their songs 'Too Much' & 'Inundated' Tora make a unique blend of live instruments with quirky electronic production, resulting in a polished authentic sound attracting listeners around the globe.
With a music career inspired by the tragic death of his music mentor/ brother in law at age 13, frontman Jo Loewenthal found songwriting as a way process his emotions and overcome the challenges that life bring.
Influenced by artists like John Mayer, James Blake, Little Dragon, RedHot Chili Peppers & Foals, Tora's sound is broad and eclectic exploring many genres and vibes throughout the catalogue.

In 2024 Tora has begun delivering on their promise of new music with their first official release in over 2 years.The new single 'Jigglypuff' is arguably the most upbeat song Tora has released to date, with contrasting grooves, pulsing synths, and catchy intimate vocals that carry the song through many phases, overflowing with hooks and surprises, highs and lows, this song is a fresh and sophisticated new addition to the Tora catalogue.
~~~~~~~~~
The adage that music is universal has never been truer in recent times. In times of darkness and disillusionment, music exists as an avenue of escape, healing and expression. And for the musicians making it, the opportunity to create is one that sits as both a treasure and responsibility. For Australian electronic act Tora, it's a mantle they picked up confidently in 2020 as they began to create their third studio record, A Force Majeure. Eleven songs that capture the essence of a band who have found themselves a world away from the normalcy they were accustomed to. Eleven songs that shine bright with refreshed perspective and a deepened understanding of the group's artistry and identity.
