Into the Now
Into the Now is the fifth studio album by Tesla, released on 9 March 2004 through Sanctuary Records. It files under hard rock and rock, and it arrived ten years after Bust a Nut, the band's previous studio record from 1994.
The album marks the band's return after a six-year hiatus, which came about because guitarist Tommy Skeoch went into rehabilitation for drug abuse. For fans who had followed Tesla since Mechanical Resonance, The Great Radio Controversy and Psychotic Supper, it is the record that picks the story back up. It also opens the chapter that led on to Real to Reel, Forever More and the albums beyond, so it is a natural place to start if you want to hear where the band went next.
