Raised in Southern California by parents who brought them to DIY punk shows and spun classic punk records in the house, Hollywood, CA-based punk up-and-comers, The Mainliners, are the real thing. And they embrace their roots, taking inspiration from such legendary SoCal bands as TSOL, Descendants, and DI, and drawing comparisons to others in the vanguard, from The Circle Jerks to The Adolescents.  Formed in the crucible of pent-up creative energy that was a quarantine-era art/punk house in Los Angeles, the band hit the ground running - writing songs, playing shows, and switching instruments for a year and a half before the official four man lineup of Cash Mathieu on vocals, Colin Martin on guitar, Adrian Morris on bass, and Jackson Fox on drums was cemented.  Since then, the band has been hard at work developing their musical and visual language across several singles, an EP, an album, and a live album, all released since 2023. They’ve been tearing up stages across the country and getting their name out there playing with bands such as Enjoy, Gvllow, Civic and Bad Nerves. They also played to a huge crowd as the only punk band on the 2024 edition of Tyler, The Creator’s Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival in their hometown of Los Angeles, proving that The Mainliners’ sound, look, and message connects, not just with punks, but with fans of good music.
