Tora Tora - Surprise Attack (CD)

Details: Digitally remastered and expanded edition containing four bonus tracks. 1989 album from the hard rock band formed in Memphis, Tennessee. The actual origin of the band name was a reference to the song of the same name recorded by Van Halen on their 1980 release Women and Children First. Tora Tora started out as a local garage band then eventually got studio time when they won a local Battle of the Bands contest. Following this, the band recorded an independent EP. After signing with A&M Records, they recorded their debut album Surprise! Attack in 1989. This album charted on Billboard's Top 200 at #47 and featured the singles "Walkin' Shoes" and "Guilty."
