Biography

There is more than one artist with this name:

1) An American melodic 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 known 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 than 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.

    I'm surprised no one one this site seems to listen to the Norwegian Hardline.

    i'm a huge fan of the debut album but still i thing Danger Zone is an amazing album! combining the 80's hard rock spirit with a modern sound. Johnny is still a great singer and the other pkayers are doing a fine job. one of the best in 2012

    I just got Danger Zone... Anyway, it sounds so lost, doesn't sound like Hardline. Why does Jhonny keep trying to form a new Hardline with unkonown musicians? I'm pretty sure there's a lot of good guitar players that would kill to be in the band, for godsake, Neal Schon was in it! It doesn't sound anything like Eden's Curse too. :(

    Saw Hardline when they supported Extreme in the UK back in 1993 (I think!) They were awesome live and first CD is brilliant!
