Revolution Saints is a premier AOR supergroup conceptualized by Frontiers Records to revitalize the melodic hard rock sound of the 1980s. Formed in 2014, the band was originally anchored by Deen Castronovo (Journey), Jack Blades (Night Ranger), and Doug Aldrich (Whitesnake).
Their sound identity is defined by high-production values, 'big' drum sounds, and a focus on hook-heavy songwriting that bridges the gap between pop-rock accessibility and hard-rock grit. The project is notable for featuring Castronovo as a lead vocalist while maintaining his role as a powerhouse drummer. Following a lineup shift in 2022, Joel Hoekstra and Jeff Pilson joined, shifting the sound toward a slightly more muscular, modern hard rock aesthetic while maintaining the core melodic sensibilities. Critically, they are viewed as the gold standard of the modern AOR revival, frequently collaborating with producer Alessandro Del Vecchio to achieve a signature 'Frontiers' sound that appeals to legacy fans of Journey, Dokken, and Whitesnake.
