The Texas based Main Line Riders is the type of band whose fans go to their concerts and afterwards they all hang around, sweaty and smiling, talking about how Main Line Riders is the next great rock band. They can't be blamed. When you see MLR, you get the feeling you've discovered something really amazing and special, and you're "in" on it just before the rest of the world catches on. Well, consider this your warning, Rock and Roll has returned, not with a whimper, but with a resounding hinge crushing, door smashing kick. As if they were poised and ready to take over Sunset Strip in the late 80's, Shot In the Dark provides a healthy dose of classic rock jams that never cease to please. With every song employing huge, anthemic hooks, cleverly mixing snarl and attitude, the band has no problems paying homage to their musical rabbis, AC/DC, Hanoi Rocks, Guns-n-Roses, and Skid Row, while appealing to fans of modern day bands Vains of Jenna, Buck Cherry, The Showdown, and Avenged Sevenfold. MLR appeal is in no small part to vocalist, Mikey Mayhem, whose vocals give a nasty attitude and confidence that matches the intensity of the music, not to mention helping the band fulfill (and even exceed) their immense potential with their debut release. They are a Christian hard rock band. There are not any overt references in the lyrics to faith or scripture. No matter - the Riders have the hard rock part down cold with the added bonus of a gifted vocalist in Mikey Mayhem that will inspire you and provide a positive, rockin' message! Make sure you crank up the volume on this one!
