Steelheart are an American glam metal band from Norwalk, Connecticut who formed in 1989. The original lineup consisted of vocalist Miljenko Matijevic, lead guitarist Chris Risola, rhythm guitarist Frank DiCostanzo, bassist James Ward, and drummer John Fowler. Initially known as Red Alert, the band changed their name to Steelheart before releasing their self-titled debut album in May 1990. The album reached number 40 on the Billboard 200 and was certified Gold by the RIAA in July 1991. It achieved significant success with the single "I'll Never Let You Go", which peaked at number 23 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Steelheart's subsequent release, Tangled in Reins, was published in 1992 and reached number 144 on the Billboard charts. A tour of Asia followed after the single "Mama Don't You Cry" charted number one in many East Asian countries. In 1996, a revamped lineup recorded Wait, which featured the track "We All Die Young", prominently used in the motion picture Rock Star. The band continued to release albums including Good 2B Alive in 2008 and Through Worlds of Stardust in 2017, along with the live album Rock 'N Milan in 2018.
