  • Tesla Premiere “Never Alone” Music Video

    Tesla have premiered a new video for their new song “Never Alone.” The single is the one original track included on the band’s new covers album “Homage.” That effort will be released on July 17.

    Bassist, vocalist, etc. Brian Wheat commented:

    “‘Never Alone’ is a new song that we wrote in the 11th hour of recording the album ‘Homage’. It started out as a simple guitar riff. I was at my friends Rachael Ray and John Cusimano’s house filming an episode for her TV show, I had some time to kill so I went into their studio in the house, picked up John’s acoustic guitar and started strumming these chords to kill some time. When I listened back to it, it sounded like a Tesla song. I thought maybe it was gonna be a song for one of my other projects, but it sounded like Tesla. So I sent it to [singer] Jeff [Keith] and he said it’s definitely Tesla. Out of that he came up with the title ‘Never Alone’, we worked on it together writing the lyrics, the music, switching the chorus around a little bit and as a result, I think it turned out pretty good. I hope you enjoy it. This is our new song ‘Never Alone’ because we’re never alone.”
