This article is about a band. For other uses of the term, see hardline and hardline (subculture).

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), later played in the band Gravity, and have since returned to Hardline. The band originally also included guitarist Neal Schon, bassist Todd Jensen (ex-Sequel), and drummer Deen Castronovo, the three of whom have also played together with singer Paul Rodgers (Free and Bad Company). The band was marketed as something of a hair 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.
