Hardliner was a Canadian hard rock ensemble originating from St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, established in 1999. The group performed within the local scene and issued a six-track EP titled Generation Why? in 2001. Their presence in the media was bolstered by interviews on Canada's CBC Radio and live segments featured on MuchMusic's show Going Coastal.
Operating between 1999 and 2004, Hardliner entered an indefinite hiatus before briefly regrouping for performances in 2009, subsequently returning to hiatus status by late 2010.
