who hasn't done it before? buying something on a whim on ebay. sometimes just because a record almost ends without a bid, and one feels obliged to give it a caring home, sometimes because one has to make up for a lost auction and another sometimes because a seller has multiple auctions going on and one bids on many stuff, even though there are just a few, one is really out for.
in this case that one is me and that something is tamora. but wait, who again? tamora? to be honest i never heard of them before and even after some extended internet research my knowledge is quite limited. all i know is that they are/were an all vegan five piece from san diego, usa. i would assume they called it a day. someone knows more? especially where i can find some mp3's of that release.
musically this absolutely kicks ass. i'm a big fan of everything throwdown, particularly their first three records. if you also think these first three records are the shit, you will love the four songs here. first-class, relentless, mosh laden metallic hardcore. i wish i could provide you with some linked music but unfortunately i can't find anything on the net.
it's very hard to come up with info on them. dicogs doesn't even lists this 7", neither does deadformat.net or musik-sammler.de. from the numbering on the sleeve i know that there are 300 on this lovely orange/yellow split colour and that it was released on tear it down records. the label has a site but they don't even list the record in their discography. strange all this is. tear it down records. 2006.
