Wild America (album)

Wild America is the second album released by the hard rock band Tora Tora.

Critical reception

Chris Czynszak of Decibel Geek says, "This album hit the shelves amidst a tidal wave of grunge music that was taking over the airwaves. The musical climate at the time relegated it to a slot just outside the Billboard Top 100. While it didn't get its just due back then, Chris and Aaron set out this week to shine a spotlight on this rock n’ roll masterpiece"
