It’s impossible to tell the full story of Hardline’s new studio album “Shout” without mentioning their 1992 classic “Double Eclipse”. After all, that was the moment when this exceptional hard rock act’s unique artistic DNA was created, its first draft already almost perfect. Since then, Hardline have brought out six more studio albums, each one of them considered to be a highlight of the genre.
“Shout” sees the band helmed by American vocalist Johnny Gioeli (Axel Rudi Pell, Crush 40) and his Italian team mates, keyboardist Alessandro Del Vecchio (Vanden Plas, Jorn), guitarist Luca Princiotta, bassist Anna Portalupi and drummer Marco Di Salvia, take up where their 1992 masterpiece left off.
“Our current album features our typical choruses and the classic songwriting style of ‘Double Eclipse’, supported by a contemporary production and state-of-the-art sound. The album gives you that feeling you get when you roll down your car window and turn up the radio on full blast”, says Johnny Gioeli, describing the ten new songs. He adds: “This band doesn’t want to reinvent its music. Hardline is Hardline, and our fans know what to expect from us”!
The debut single “Rise Up” is the first representative of the new album, a perfect foretaste of the album which spews the historical, current and future melodic consistency of Hardline.
