Tesla debuted a new song, “Ricochet”, on the recent Monsters Of Rock cruise, and video from the March 30th performance is available.
The song is expected to appear on the band’s forthcoming album, “Simplicity”, due in June.
The Sacramento rockers hit the studio in early February to work on the project.
“I must say that this new Tesla album is really gonna be awesome,” guitarist Frank Hannon posted last month during the sessions. “We went in more prepared with the songs and ideas way more than Forevermore, and the style is pure Tesla back to our roots. the band is working and producing it as we did Into The Now..with help from the legendary Tom Zutaut who helped us make our best albums..the title of the new album is gonna be "Simplicity" and I truly believe you guys are gonna love it!”
“The opening track is called MP3,” the guitarist continued, “and starts off with an opus intro that orchestrates into a heavy slow groove with lyrics about technology and how we miss simplicity, vinyl albums, family values...and has a heavy ass riff! Then we segue into a rock n roll song called Ricochet that talks about uncle Ted...can't wait to play this stuff live!:
Last summer, Tesla released a new single, “Taste My Pain.”
Tesla will be on the road this spring and summer, with dates across Europe and North America starting April 25 in Bethlehem, PA.
