Listen to a New Tesla Song, "Taste Like"
The band's forthcoming album, 'Shock,' is out March 8.
Tesla have shared a new song, "Taste Like." The track comes off their eighth studio album, Shock, due March 8 via UMC.
As previously reported, Shock was produced by and co-written with Def Leppard guitarist Phil Collen.
Said Tesla guitarist Frank Hannon of working with Collen, “He took our song ideas and really produced them to the max, and I think people are really going to be blown away by the album. The sound, the production and the songs are taken to a new level for us. He taught us that you can be productive on the road.”
Hannon continued: “I'll be honest, Tesla may not have made another album because we were stuck in these ways of thinking [of], You can't do this. You can't do that. You can't write songs on the road. Phil proved us wrong and taught us that we can do it.”
