Hardline is an American  hard rock band. Originally formed in 1991 by brothers  Johnny Gioeli  and  Joey Gioeli , the band consisted of 5 members, Johnny Gioeli, Joey Gioeli,  Neal Schon,  Todd Jensen and  Deen Castronovo. The bands' most recent album release is the 2009 Leaving the End Open  which featured the current lineup, Johnny Gioeli,  Josh Ramos ,  Michael T Ross,  Jamie Brown  and  Atma Anur. Of the 4 albums produced by Hardline, this is the only one not to feature Joey Gioeli.
Hardline is a band created by brothers  Johnny Gioeli and  Joey Gioeli, who had previously played in the bands Killerhit and Brunette (which at one point was the top-drawing band in Hollywood, setting the all-time attendance record at Gazzarri's ater played in the band Gravity, and have since returned to Hardline. The band originally also included guitarist  Neal Schon  of  Journey and Bad English, bassist  Todd Jensen  (ex-Sequel), and drummer  Deen Castronovo. The group was marketed as something of a glam metal band, due to the Gioelli brothers having long hair and dressing in a glam metal style, but their sound had as much in common with hard rock  and  AOR. A couple of the groups first songs were used in the movie " Rapid Fire" which starred  Brandon Lee, the son of martial arts expert,  Bruce Lee.
Neal Schon left and then did several projects before finally rejoining Journey. Former Jag Panzer and Shrapnel Records legend  Joey Tafolla was approached to join but declined at the time to concentrate on building his southern California merchandising company. Todd Jensen and Deen Castronovo left to join  Ozzy Osbourne, though Jensen was replaced by . Geezer Butler Eventually, Deen Castronovo also joined Journey. Drummer Bobby Rock  played on Hardline's second album,  He had previously played several times with the Gioeli brothers in the band Brunette, replacing their regular drummer. They met via Rock's former  Vinnie Vincent Invansion bandmate  Dana Strum, who produced one of Brunette's demos, on which Rock did some drum tracks.  Angel keyboardist  Michael T. Ross  joined the band for II and the live DVD, when they headlined "The Gods Festival" in  Bradford, England, June 2002. Hardline's third studio album,  Leaving the End Open, was released on April 17, 2009 in  Europe  and on May 19 in the  United States, after much delay. It was originally slated for release in Spring 2006.
