Editor's note

Hardline's melodic rock, from 'Hot Cherie' to now

A melodic rock band that formed in the early 1990s with Journey's Neal Schon and has kept going through lineup changes.

For the early sound, 'Hot Cherie' is the obvious pick. For where they landed later, try 'Can't Find My Way' or 'Love Leads The Way.'

Their debut 'Double Eclipse' had 'Hot Cherie,' a single that got radio play and helped the album find an audience. Later songs like 'Can't Find My Way' and 'Take You Home' show they've stuck with that melodic rock sound through the years. It's a straightforward case of a band that found a lane and stayed in it.

Hardline formed in the early 1990s with vocalist Johnny Gioeli and guitarist Neal Schon from Journey. After Schon and bassist Todd Jensen left in 1993, the band went quiet for a few years before returning with 'Sovereign' in 1999. They've put out records like 'Human Nature' in 2012 and 'Life' in 2019 since regrouping in 2009.

Archive material and source history

Hardline formed in the early 1990s with vocalist Johnny Gioeli, guitarist Neal Schon from Journey, bassist Todd Jensen, and drummer Deen Castronovo. Their debut album 'Double Eclipse' included the single 'Hot Cherie,' which got radio play and helped the album find an audience. They followed it with 'II' the next year.

After Schon and Jensen left in 1993, the band went quiet for a few years. They returned in 1999 with 'Sovereign,' but it didn't connect like the earlier records. Another break followed until 2009, when Gioeli and Castronovo regrouped with guitarist Josh Ramos and bassist Anna Portalupi for a self-titled album.

Since then, Hardline has put out records like 'Human Nature' in 2012 and 'Life' in 2019. Songs such as 'Can't Find My Way' and 'Take You Home' show the band's continued focus on melodic rock.
