"Toundra is an instrumental rock band formed in Madrid, in the summer of 2007. Formed at the beginning for Victor, Albert and William of Necen de las Cenizas and Esteban of Ten Minute Man.
In November 2007, after several months of rehearsals, they recorded two demos – Bajamar and Orbita. In December 2007, Toundra recorded an EP.
