Tesla Boy is charismatic frontman and producer Anton Sevidov, who from an early age learnt to speak the international language of music through his father’s old vinyl collection that included Ray Charles, Prince, Stevie Wonder and Blondie. From here, a clear affinity with ‘80s pop and soul from the US and Britain emerged, and has since played a strong role in crafting the Tesla Boy identity. From their beginnings with the release of debut single 'Electric Lady' and first LP 'Modern Thrills' in 2010, the sounds of Tesla Boy’s global influences are immediate, with their acclaimed follow-up single Split, produced to a high level with deep catchy melodies and disco undertones.
Band members Leo Zatagin (bass), Mike Studnitsyn (drums) and Stan Astakhov (guitar) complete the Tesla Boy lineup, coming together to round out the trio in 2010. A collaborative project at its core, all music and lyrics, stylistic decisions, concepts, and the direction of music and production, are made collectively. At the forefront, Sevidov remains the heart of the band, with his penchant for charming songwriting, complimented by the band's incredible musicality and tantalizing live shows that have created a cult following in cities across the world.
Following the standout success of their sparkling debut, 2012 saw the band return to the studio to work on their highly anticipated second album, 'The Universe Made of Darkness,' due to drop May 21, 2013. March saw the band share the first single, '1991,' an infectiously optimistic groove that is an exciting teaser to the finished LP that takes their previous albums' 80’s inspired synth sounds to even further heights. Second single 'M.C.H.T.E.' is a bouncy and percussion heavy track with rhythmic, funky bass lines and synths that flicker across the surface. 'Broken Doll' sees the band team up with London crooner Tyson to create a dark, full-bodied and sensual track. As the chorus of the track would suggest, 'Broken Doll' is an invitation to the dance floor, with Tyson's vocals positively electrifying as he asks, "Do you want to dance?"
As only a preview to what is to come, it is obvious Tesla Boy are not to be mistaken with passing club trends that have come out of Russia in previous years. Tesla Boy carry a shiny pop sensibility, combined with sleek and sophisticated production that takes their nostalgic synth sound and punching soul hooks into the new wave era of EDM with global appeal.

Runaway Man
Tesla Boy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This time you choose
Not to take photographs
Things are to change
Jump to next paragraph
All days are packed
Evidence left to die
But you are still alive
You know the way out
You lock the door
You are the engine
You're gonna blow
There is no cooler
To low the heat
This feeling drives you to the street
Leave the city nights right behind you (repeat)
This time you leave
And you have no regrets
Your car is on
And it's ready to dance
You drop a smile
Wave the City goodbye
Hold on a while
You are walking the line
I see you later
You tell the streets
I know there's someone
Somewhere to meet
You face the exit
To feel the breeze
You leave this city on his knees
Leave the city nights right behind you (repeat)
The Tesla Boy's song, "Runaway Man," is an upbeat and fast-paced song about escaping from the city and starting a new adventure. The chorus repeats the phrase, "Leave the city nights right behind you," which serves as a mantra for the singer to follow. The opening verse talks about leaving the city behind, and how it's time for a change. Lines like "not to take photographs" and "evidence left to die" suggest that the singer wants to leave their old life behind and start fresh. They feel like they're "wrecked," but they're still alive and ready for a new beginning.
The second verse talks about the singer leaving the city and having "no regrets." They're driving their car, which is ready to "dance" and they wave goodbye to the city with a smile. The singer is optimistic about the future, and they're looking forward to meeting someone new. The chorus repeats again, and the song ends with the singer leaving the city on its knees.
Overall, the song is about starting over and leaving a negative past behind. The singer is ready for change and sees leaving the city as a way to start fresh.

To experience the moment
You leave this city on his knees
You're leaving the city behind
