“Showing off her incredible talent of making a genre blend her own, the band’s latest single is an ingenious fusion of both modern and retro touches of blues, rock, funk, and soul. With a dark blues guitar and a Prince-like swagger, the song progresses to a wild electric guitar solo. And with the addition of a funky section, soul lyrics borrowed from The Four Tops and her imposing vocals, this timeless tune is a mesmerizing amalgamation that shines bright like the sonic diamond it truly is.” — Jansen’s Jamz

“Killer axe woman, fab voice and oodles of stage presence [...] If UK festival promoters do not grab this lady and her band for spring and summer dates very soon, call the cops as a crime will have been committed!” — Music Republic Magazine

“Tora’s set was a real eye-opener [...] an excellent guitarist, playing some blinding riffs and fingerpicking her way through some delicate solos. Backed up by her excellent band, it was a top night of high energy. Tora had the audience in the palm of her hand with a mixture of humour and raw talent [...] if you get the chance to see her somewhere else, I really encourage you to do so. You won’t regret it.” — Graham Hutton Photography
