Episode 48: Tesla: The Early Years
from The Rock and Metal Profs Hosted by Matt Alschbach & Court Lewis
Few bands made a bigger impact in the 1980s than Sacramento rockers Tesla. When "Mechanical Resonance" hit the stores, fans compared them to Aerosmith, but they forged a style and sound all their own that shaped the American rock sound for decades. Metallica loved them, girls adored them, and even hardcore metal fans had to admit that they were the perfect blend of hard rock, classic riffs, grit and melody. Go take your "Edison's Medicine" and listen to the Pod!
