Hans in´t Zandt - Drums
Ron Hendrix - Keyboads
Fred Hendrix - Bass guitar
Written and produced by Fred Hendrix
TWO OF A KIND's self-titled debut album was released by the Frontiers label back in 2007. Fred Hendrix, best known as the main songwriter and singer for the Melodic Rock masters TERRA NOVA, heads up the band and back at the turn of the century, Fred had become more and more
interested in production and songwriting. He started looking for new and fresh talent to develop and following several suggestions from Frontiers Records’ President and A&R Director, Serafino Perugino, Fred hooked up with not one but two female singers, Esther Brouns and Anita Craenmehr.
After a few writing sessions, Fred submitted the plan for a new band with a great melodic rock edge in the style of BOSTON meets HEART to Frontiers, who liked the material and signed the band in late 2005. Recording of the self-titled debut album was completed during the summer of ‘06 with Fred’s TERRA NOVA bandmates Gesuino Derosas (guitar), Hans in't Zandt (drums, also drummer for Praying Mantis), and Fred's brother Ron Hendrix (keyboards) joining the proceedings.
“TWO OF A KIND” was met with a warm reception from fans and critics alike and now the whole gang is back together for another album. The result is “Rise”, a record chock full of splendid melodic rock songs! “I wrote like I did on the first album, all songs on my own. I produced the album but I always leave the rest of the band free to bring in their own ideas,” says Fred Hendrix. “Sometimes it is tricky to create songs for two different singers because they have a different range and colour, so I have always to take into account the fact that Esther has a high pitched smooth voice, whereas Anita has a lower rough voice. However, they match very well together and I hope the fans will like the
final result again!"
The long overdue follow-up to their debut album is sure to please melodic rock fans around the globe with the performances of all members even more electric than on the debut.

Gioeli - Castronovo - "Through" (Official Music Video)
Johnny Gioeli and Deen Castronovo first played together on the debut Hardline album, “Double Eclipse”, which was released in 1992. 25 years later, the two were reunited in Italy to commence work on the debut Gioeli-Castronovo album, “Set The World On Fire”.
“It was so great to work with Johnny again, I’ve always loved his voice and it was a pleasure to be a part of this collaboration! It was like we’d never left each other,” says Castronovo.
“It was like the first day he tried to hold my hand and kiss me in 1992. Ha Ha!!! KIDDING! Seriously, I never left Deen. Deen never left me, so reuniting was easy. Counting our blessings were plentiful. Singing together was magical,” says Gioeli about working with Castrovo again.
Both men have continued on their musical paths since they last saw one another, with Gioeli continuing to lead Hardline, while Castronovo spent time with Ozzy Osbourne and had an extended tour of duty with the legendary Journey. Castronovo is currently active with The Dead Daisies and Revolution Saints in addition to Gioeli-Castronovo.
Gioeli’s vocal talents combined with Deen’s superb drumming abilities (and whom is also a fine vocalist in his own right) has made for a stunning album that is driving a driving hard rock record, while also chock full of uplifting melodies and poignant lyrical messages.
We’d tell you to sit back and enjoy this album, but you’ll be on your feet the second it starts, so stand up and take notice of this display of two immense talents doing what they do best!
