The new HARDLINE album '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 Melodic Rock masterpiece "Double Eclipse" left off.<br/>"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 are Hardline, and our fans know what to expect from us!"<br/>FOR FANS OF: Journey, Axel Rudi Pell, Dokken, Scorpions, Pretty Maids, Michael Schenker, Europe

Elegant Weapons return with their sophomore studio album, Evolution. This quartet of lifelong musicians- guitarist Richie Faulkner [Judas Priest], vocalist Ronnie Romero [Rainbow, MSG], bassist Dave Rimmer [Uriah Heep], and drummer Christopher Williams [Accept]-have rallied around a collective vision. They've architected a signature style sealed tightly by unforgettable riffing, surgically precise solos, bold grooves, and skyscraping hooks. The world got its first taste of Elegant Weapons with the release of Horns For A Halo in 2023. Exhibiting both a craftsman's attention-to-detail and an innate knack for arena-ready anthems, Elegant Weapons have rapidly progressed in real-time as they push forward again on their second full-length offering, the aptly titled Evolution. Featuring "Evil Eyes," "Generation Me," and the lead single "Bridges Burn," Elegant Weapons have evolved into their most dangerous and dynamic effort thus far.
