SACRAMENTO’s favourites, Tesla, are putting out a hybrid live album called Full Throttle.

The release, due on May 26, combines a live performance from Sturgis Bike Rally, with the setlist including versions of recent releases “Time To Rock” and “Cold Blue Steel”.

It’s a hybrid in that the bonus track, a cover of Aerosmith‘s “SOS (Too Bad)” which was also recorded live, but in a garage studio.

The album was independently recorded, mixed and produced by guitarist Frank Hannon and bassist Brian Wheat.

Hannon recently told Metal Edge:”It’s 100% live, and it was recorded at the Sturgis Bike Rally, which is one of the great events that we love.

“It’s got motorcycles, rock music and a ton of energy. We love it, and the night that we played there, man, we were on fire.

“And I think we really captured it with this record… like lightning in a bottle.

“We’ve got a bonus track that we’ll include, an old Aerosmith song.

“We basically went back to California, hunkered down in my garage, set up some microphones, and recorded it live right then and there. I think that song is one of their best songs, and it was killer to get to record it.”
