Despite introducing what I like to think of as a new hybrid hard music form, Gregorian Rock is a bit of a quandary. As its namesake implies, Gregorian Rock explores the mostly uncharted musical waters of Gregorian chant and contemporary music styles, or at the very least is one of the few attempting to incorporate both. Whereas it is unique in its approach, the project of San Antonio, Texas native Roland Dale Benedict stays true to the ‘rock’ aspect of its moniker, and with the exception of one song off its 2017 third full length offering Fire, does not go under a “Gregorian Hard Rock” or “Gregorian Metal’ heading for a reason.

MAIN LINE RIDERS – Shot in the Dark (Remastered +1 bonus ) 2019
Guitarist Cliff Powell (a.k.a. Cliffy Huntington) got his start in the mid-nineties with the Ramones influences punk rock band The Huntingtons. Parting ways with The Huntingtons in 2001, “Cliffy” joined The Stivs later the same year, a Portland, Oregon based unit that merged elements of rock and roll and punk.
The Stivs went on to fall apart in early 2006 at which point Cliffy developed a vision to form his first evangelistic band. The end result was Main Line Riders. A group originating from Houston, Texas, Main Line Riders put together its initial line up in 2006 and, after writing and rehearsing over the next year, recorded its full length debut, Shot In The Dark. The album was shopped around to several labels until the band settled on Retroactive Records, which released it in the fall of 2007.
