Soulmotor

This band was formed by Tesla bass player Brian Wheat back when Tesla was on hiatus. They released two albums ("Soulmotor" in 1999 and "Revolution Wheel" in 2002) and had one minor hit in "Guardian Angel", which also had a music video that got a small amount of airplay on the short lived MTV X channel in the early 2000's. It is assumed that the band has long since disbanded.
