TESLA BOY - Runaway Man
Tesla Boy is what I’ve been waiting for, a throwback 80s electro pop band, with no problem embracing the over-the-top aesthetics that made the 80s the decade of excess. Tesla Boy is fun, sweaty, and relentless is their pursuit of making you dance.
This Russian trio manages to stand out from peers like Cut Copy or Ladyhawke by ditching the guitars and structuring their tracks more like DJ cuts than indie rock songs. There’s no sense of cool or nonchalance to be found, no attempts to blur genre lines, just a complete sense of three dudes having the time of their lives.
Tesla Boy is full of ear candy, nonstop dance beats, and huge hooks. I don’t even want to talk about it anymore. Just look at the band and their logo and know that it’s everything you’ve been looking for.
These tracks come from the band’s 2009 EP, Tesla Boy. Keep an eye out for the band’s debut full length due out this summer. Oh and watch this live video below. Party hard, my friends!
