Tesla

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008

Tesla was formed in Sacramento, California in 1985.  The band’s music was bluesy, no-frills, ’70s-style hard rock that concentrated more on solid musicianship than enormous, arena-ready choruses, and it had a noticeable grit — not so much the urban sleaze of Guns N’ Roses, but a grounded attitude and a genuine affection for old-school hard rock. Despite their refreshing lack of posturing, Tesla was just as hard-hit as the rest of the pop-metal world when grunge wiped out classic-style hard rock, but they did produce one of the more respectable bodies of work of the era.   Tesla’s cover of The Five Man Electrical Band’s song “Signs” was a significant hit for the group.
