American/Italian Melodic Hard Rockers HARDLINE are working on their new album, set to be released in 2016 via Frontiers Music srl.
Comments HARDLINE’s keyboardist, Alessandro Del Vecchio, who is also the songwriter and producer of this album: “Today is a good day for my band Hardline. Preproduction for the new album is done and we’re set to go. I lost count of the songs I wrote but we chose 13 out of them and 11 will go on the album. We’ll enter the studio in August to start the recordings which will be done by the end of this year, and the album is set to be released next year on Frontiers Music srl! Seems like yesterday but 4 years ago almost at the same time I started writing and producing “Danger Zone” which set the rebirth of the band under my wing :-)”
HARDLINE are
Johnny Gioeli – vocals
Alessandro Del Vecchio – keyboards and backing vocals
Josh Ramos – guitars
Anna Portalupi – bass
Francesco Jovino – drums

Louisiana-born multi-instrumentalist in high demand as songwriter, vocalist, guitarist, bassist, keyboardist, and producer KELLY KEELING‘s new solo album entitled “Mind Radio” will come out on July 3rd in Europe and July 10th in North America, via Frontiers Music srl.
Prior to the album release, Kelly has unveiled an official audio for the song “Take Me To The Limit”, can be streamed below.
KELLY began his musical career with Baton Rouge with whom he released 3 albums. Later he joined Blue Murder’s 2nd album, “Nothin but Trouble,” wrote and recorded 2 albums with John Norum (Europe) following extensive tours of Norway & Sweden. Keeling joined Heaven & Earth for “Windows to the World,” then 3 albums and world tour with Michael Schenker’s MSG, 4 albums with Carmine Appice’s Guitar Zeus, featuring legendary guitarists Brian May, Yngwie Malmsteen, Neal Schon, Slash, Zak Wilde, Steve Morse, Paul Gilbert, and Vivian Campbell. After 3 years as lead vocalist touring and recording with Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Keeling returned to independent projects including the recent album, Red Zone Rider, featuring UFO guitarist Vinnie Moore and Scot Coogan.
Amid all these collaborations, Kelly debuted as a solo artist with the album “Giving Sight to the Eye” which was released in March 2005, featuring Roger Daltrey, Denny Laine, Kerry Livgren, Carmine Appice & Tony Franklin. Now in 2015, Kelly Keeling is back with another solo album entitled, “Mind Radio,” which is produced by the very-much-in-demand Alessandro Del Vecchio (Revolution Saints, Bonfire, Graham Bonnet, Hardline etc.).
“This album is a culmination of the last 5 years on a journey to revive my old band amidst considerations of not playing music anymore for a while due to a much needed break” says Kelly. “But during the process I found direction, actually traveling and ending up all over the world on tour with Baton Rouge, and as a solo artist at various festivals and venues. This album Mind Radio is very honest, walking the listener through what I endured on this journey. I love my band. Alessandro Del Vecchio! What a genius that guy is. I’ve produced and been a part of many albums but this guy is so brilliant! What a great musician singer, writer, Producer and Brother to me. I’m so very happy to have him onboard as he surely simplified a focused direction, taking a load of effort off of me through a masterpiece of work which seems to have taken lifetimes to get here.”
With songwriting contributions from Robert Sall (RIDE OUT THE STORM, FROZEN IN TIME), VON GROOVE’s Michael Shotton, guitarist Mario Percudani and Del Vecchio himself. Musically and sonically, this is a brilliant Melodic Rock album showcasing the impeccable vocal talents of one of the most underrated Hard Rock singers of our time. Also included on the album are three songs written by Keeling together with his BATON ROUGE cohorts Jack Ponti and Lance Bulen (WRITTEN IN FIRE, MONKEY HOUSE and WHO DO YOU RUN TO).
