  • Entertainment The Western Carolinian Page 8 Tesla: "The Great Radio Controversy" by Colin Burch STAFF WRITER Head bangers, party people, and hard rock enthusiasts beware! The band that brought you "Modern Day Cowboy" and "Little Suzi" has recently completed an extremely hot album titled The Great Radio Con- toversy Tesla is more than back.they are badder than ever, and promise to become rivals to headline metal acts. Tesla, named after Nikola Tesla, the developer of alternating current (A/C) whose discoveries ushered in the Age of Power, was an instant hit with the release of "Modern Day Cowboy" off their 1986 debut album titled Mechanical Resonance. The title Mechanical Resonance came from Nikola Tesla's theory that the earth could be split open with sound waves. Never has there been a more appropriate title! The new album, entitled The Great Radio Controversy ^ comes from the epic legal struggle in the 1940's that resulted in naming Tesla the father of radio. "He never got the credit he deserved," says bass player Brian Wheat. "He was always screwed around. We can relate to that. Rock is always getting the blame for something. Besides, Tesla was always the underdog and so arc we." The electric guitar sounds have brought no shame to the origin of their name. Tesla's latest (on Geffen Records) is "meat 'n' potatoes" rock 'n roll, solidly packed with a unique style - something that is hard to come by in the hard rock world today—and even bolder vocals and lyrics, all backed with masterfully blended guitars. Their underdog days may soon be over. "This is a no-bullshit rock 'n' roll band," explains \+ •¥■-¥• *•¥■ LAST MINUTE PRODUCTIONS ********** WEEKLY ACTIVITIES, FRIDAY NITE SKIING Feb. 3 & 10 f^smnB LIFT & RENTALS WCU Students Non-Students $18.00 $26.00 at Cataloochee LIFT ONLY $11.00 $16.00 POSS' PIT NITE at P.G.Katz After the WCU vs. ASU game DJ: DANCE LTD.

That's how it used to be in rock 'n roll, and that's what we're about." Pushing the electric currents through their guitars and amps at the max, Tesla has achieved a high energy album. And what's even more impressive about the album is their straight-forward recording method—as it is printed again in bold faced letters on the inside of the new album NO MACHINES! The hits on Mechanical Resonance were easily picked out: "Little Suzi","Modem Day Cowboy," and "Gettin' Better." But you can't single out tracks on this new album—they all rock! N.C. State's campus radio (WKNC ROCK-88) has been playing quite a bit of "Hang Tough" and "Heaven's Train." I would definitely applaud these two. "Hang Tough" is driving rock with a 'don't-let-them-get- you-down' message while "Heaven's Trail" sports an impressive slide and acoustic guitar combination. Very interesting, high-voltage guitar comes from the haunting "Lazy Days/Crazy Nights." "Be A Man" is a promising future hit, with some good lyrical content: "/ know what it takes to be a man/it ain't the way lyou look or the clothes that you wearlthat airi t what it takes to be 3 man/do right by the ones you love/Always lend a helping hand." And not to forget "Love Song," a well-done ballad that, though sad and sweet, stays in the true, no-imitations Tesla style. After a year-and-a-half on the road and with a debut that just fell short of platinum status, Tesla is very aware of their abilities and is ready to fock. Pop With a Punch: THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS by Michael Cook STAFF WRITER If you haven't heard THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS yet, you will sooner or later. They already have a video in circulation on MTV, and their debutLP"Love Junk" (Chrysalis records) promises to be a hit on college radio. Hailing from Toronto, Canada, the five member group includes Moe Berg on guitars and vocals; Dave Gilby on drums; Johnny Sinclair on bass; Kris Abbot on guitars and vocals; and Leslie Stanwyck on vocals. Vocal harmonies on the record are a mix of Berg's urgent, at times Iggy Pop-like singing and Stanwyck's delicate voice, providing a unique dimension to the hard edged sound of the band. Rock and roll veteran Todd Rundgren's trademark production graces the vinyl as another plus for the listener. Without going heavy metal, the band has a hard rock sound on some tracks that vaguely resembles Van Halen in their early days, and once in a while there's a Ted Nugent-style guitar lick. Subject material varies on the songs but most of the lyrics deal with boys and girls and horizontal pastimes, as on the song "Looking for Girls", which has a few words I can't print here. Overall, THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS should get a good deal of airplay, as the single "I'm An Adult Now" has been doing well nationally. I enjoy reviewing bands like this that breathe fresh air into the music scene, and if you're in a record store and see a white album cover with a giant "TPOH" on the front, give it a listen and see if you agree with me. "Love Junk" is definitely not for the trash.
