Album: Twisted Wires & The Acoustic Sessions by Tesla (2011)
Genre: Hard Rock | Style: Rock/Pop
Record Label: Universal Records
Format: Album

Description: The self produced album of 12 songs features two new unreleased songs called 2nd Street , and Better Off Without You , as well as the final recordings of the original lineup with former guitarist Tommy Skeoch from 2005. The aptly titled album is not only called TWISTED WIRES & the acoustic sessions... for the way Tesla has always seemed to seamlessly blend acoustic and electric guitar sounds in their music, but is also descriptive of the bands continuous and tumultuous ride over the past 25 years, overcoming the ups and downs of rock and roll. From the band that sparked the unplugged craze of the 90s with 5 Man Acoustic Jam , and the radical electric guitar riffs of Modern Day Cowboy featured on the latest Guitar Hero game, now comes TWISTED WIRES & the acoustic sessions... a creative mix of past and present, as well as a classic rendition of Climax Blues Bands I Love You which so happens to be the first song TESLA recorded together after reuniting from a painful 5 year break up. Take a spin of the new disc by TESLA and enjoy the celebration of 25 years with America s gritty blue collar band of survivors who still rock today, and will for another 25 years! 

Artist Background: Tesla is an American rock band formed in Sacramento, California in late 1982. They have sold 14 million albums in the United States. Part of the Sacramento, California music scene. Emerged in the 1980s era. Associated with Hard Rock movement. Known for Rock/Pop style.
