Tora Tora is an American hard rock band formed in Memphis, Tennessee, United States, in 1985. “Tora” means “tiger” in Japanese and the name is a play on the code name for attack used by the Japanese Imperial Navy during their attack on Pearl Harbor, “Tora, Tora, Tora”. The actual origin of the band name was more likely a reference to the song of the same name[citation needed] recorded by Van Halen on their 1980 release Women and Children First. In a 1989 Headbanger’s Ball interview with singer Anthony Corder and bassist Patrick Francis, they said that a friend of the band came up with a list of 60 to 70 different names for their band, and they picked the name Tora Tora because it stood out to them the most. They mentioned in the same interview that the original name of the band had been “Free Beer”.
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 To Rock To Roll as an independent EP. After its release the songs “Phantom Rider” and “Love’s A Bitch” received extensive airplay on local radio station Rock 98. After signing with A&M Records, they recorded their debut album Surprise! Attack in 1989. This album peaked on Billboard‘s Top 200 at No. 47 and featured the singles “Walkin’ Shoes” and “Guilty.” The single “Dancing With a Gypsy” was on the soundtrack for the film Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure later that year. Tora Tora was the first Band from Memphis, Tennessee, to have a music video, “Walkin’ Shoes” on MTV.
