TESLA guitarist Dave Rude is featured in a new interview with BackstageAxxess.com. An excerpt is available below.
Q: You described your initial Dave Rude Band effort as "think SHINEDOWN having a drink with BUCKCHERRY at a KINGS OF LEON after party and you're on the right track!" Could you elaborate on that a little bit for us?
Dave: "It's definitely got a classic rock influence to it, but we put our own spin on it. That's kind of the whole ethos...to have an original hard rock sound. We don't want to be a rehash band or a retro band. We don't want to just copy other bands. We could just go copy NICKELBACK. I love Nickelback, but we don't want to copy them. We want to have our own unique identity. I think of what bands we would fit well on a bill with and Shinedown would be perfect. Buckcherry would be perfect. Kings of Leon, less than the other bands, but we definitely have that spacier, soulful pop side. Carry Me Home definitely has a Kings of Leon feel to it. Just a little bit heavier. That would about say it (chuckles)."
