Take a peek inside TORA's origins with their hand picked guide to Byron Bay

15 June 2017 | 9:43 pm | Natalie Turner

Tora provide a Hometown Guide; a look into the mystical land of Byron Bay and their perfect picks for scenery, food, fun and just plain ol’ adventure!

Electronic tastemakers and soulful four-piece, TORA have had a speedy rise to the top, as their music continues to bring blissful vibes to any who listen.

These born and bred Byron-ers paved their path of success with a debut EP all the way back in 2013, captivating listeners from around the world and gaining a pretty high reputation for their chillaxed, feel-good electronica. These lads have a knack for compiling sounds together to create a floating vessel of serenity being of no surprise as to why they’re sided along artists such as JAMES BLAKE and TORO Y MOI.

Performing at Glastonbury, Falls Festival, Splendour In The Grass, The Great Escape UK and Canadian Music Week and touring alongside artists such as RUFUS, MIAMI HORROR and SAFIA, Tora have become a household name, making it even more sweeter to claim them as our own. Their latest release, ‘Another Case’ is a glorious example of their unique and adventurous production and provides a small but sweet, sweet taste of their debut album Take A Rest, which was released recently to widespread critical acclaim.
