The first single released from the album was "Takin' Me Down", written by Johnny and Joey Gioeli with Neal Schon. At that time, however, Grunge and Hip hop music were keeping formerly commercial AOR, hard rock, and heavy metal bands in the lower reaches of the album charts and preventing most from hitting the Billboard Hot 100 at all. Despite the odds stacked against it, "Takin' Me Down" entered Billboard's Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart for four weeks, peaking at No. 37 in June.[3] The album's second single fared better. A cover of a top 40 hit by Danny Spanos from 1983, and written by members of the band Streetheart, Hardline's version of "Hot Cherie" rose to No. 25 on the Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart[3] and remained on that chart throughout the fall of 1992, ultimately logging fourteen weeks.


Journey guitarist Neal Schon joined the Gioeli brothers and toured for this album, which rocks a bit harder than most of his Journey and Bad English tracks had and features little synthesizer (even though it features two tracks co-written with the aforementioned bands' keyboardist, Jonathan Cain), but Schon departed for other projects after the band lost its record deal. Schon was replaced by former The Storm guitarist Josh Ramos.


Will be posted 1st Class and very well packed for transit.
