Bio: Got its start in early 2006 when guitarist Cliff Powell (a.k.a. Cliffy Huntington of the punk rock groups The Huntingtons and The Stivs) developed the vision to create an evangelistic rock band.  Initial line up came together in Houston, Texas, with “Cliffy” and Darkway on guitars and Mike Mayhem handling lead vocals.

After writing and rehearsing over the next year, Main Line Riders released full length debut, Shot In The Dark, on Retroactive Records in 2007.  Cliffy recruited a new vocalist (Shawn Browning) and guitarist (Matthew Kenenske) prior to recording groups 2009 Retroactive follow up effort Worldshaker.

Of Interest: Cliffy was a member of The Huntingtons from 1993 to 2001.  He was also a part of The Stivs at the time it recorded its 2005 debut Sweet Heartache And The Satisfaction.
