History:
A hard rocking American super group that appeared onto the music scene too late to make any sort of lasting impact.
  The group was formed by brothers, and former Brunette band mates, Johnny (vocals) and Joey Gioeli (guitar). They recruited former Bad English members Neal Schon (guitar, best know for his work in Journey) and Deen Castronovo (drums). Ex Doro and David Lee Roth bassist Todd Jensen rounded out the band.
  The group began a major tour with Van Halen prior to the release of an album. The one and only record was filled with classy Americanized hard rock, that showed a harder edge then that of Bad English. Schon, Jensen, and Castronovo took time away from the band to work with Paul Rodgers. However the Gioeli's felt the other members were spending too much time on side projects, and Hardline split.
  Schon and Castronovo would rejoin Journey in the late 90s, Jensen worked and toured with Alice Cooper while Johnny Gioeli sang on Axel Rudi Pell's Oceans Of Time album. A new version of Hardline consisting of the Gioeli's, Josh Ramos (guitar), Chris Maloney (bass), Bobby Rock (drums, ex-Vinnie Vincent Invasion) and Michael Ross (keyboards) released Hardline II roughly ten years after the debut. With the addition of Bob Burch on bass, Hardline played select live dates with one of those shows being released as an album. Rumors of a third studio album continue to swirl.
