From Southern New Jersey comes Redliner, a band looking to redefine melodic hard rock in the Tri-State Area. Each member of Redliner brings his unique styles to this band and a no-nonsense approach to songwriting.
Founded in the summer of 2007 by guitarist Dan Chrzan (Crystal Synn, Mikell’s Plot) and vocalist Jim Santora (77LeSabre), the duo spent months molding what would become the Redliner sound. In the winter of 2008, drummer Don Valentino and bassist Steve Tortu entered the fold and provided the backbeat for Redliner’s life soundtrack.
The band released their first full length CD titled Vengeance in January 2009. Recording was done by Wayne Earls of WNE Recording out of Deptford NJ. The material is being mastered by Wayne Davis of The Sound Station (who has done work with Breaking Benjamin, Ill Nino, Dropping Daylight and Philadelphia’s Noosphere). .
With the release of “Vengeance”, the band gained some exposure from the press and radio, including Metal Edge Magazine saying that Redliner was “reinventing modern hard rock”. The band released two singles, “Knock Me Down” and “Damaged Girl” which received airplay on over 35 radio stations and speciality programs including WYSP (Philadelphia), WSTW (Wilmington DE), WZBH (Georgetown DE), WZZO (Allentown PA), WLFR (Atlantic City NJ), and internet stations and programs like Maximum Threshold, Hot Rocks Radio and Sound Machine to name a few. .
Redliner also has had the opportunity to perform at the Trocadero Theatre in Philadelphia, Six Flags in Jackson NJ, 2009’s Jamfest 3 in Jackson NJ as well as performing with the band Suicide City at the Cherrywood in Clementon NJ. .
In April of 2009, Chrzan decided to leave the band to pursue other interests. Redliner asked guitarist Kurt Dillon (77LeSabre, Axiom Rox, Eyes Of Disarray) to fill in the spot and the band has been moving forward ever since. .
Redliner recently recorded a live CD/DVD at Blue Light Digital Studios in Mount Holly NJ which will be available soon. The disc includes new material as well as songs from the “Vengeance” CD. The band is still writing material for a follow up to Vengeance in 2010. Also in 2010, the band plans to embark on some mini-tours to some of the areas they have reached with their radio play in the last year. .
