All The Way Rider was formed in 2005 in Minneapolis, Minnesota by former Align member Jeremy Jessen on vocals/guitar, along with drummer Rocky De Vries, bassist Scott Walters, and guitarist Bill Collins. 2006 saw the release of their self-titled debut EP and later Lahuna in 2007. The band went on to become a trio with the departure of Bill Collins before they released the second full length album "The Eagle's Revenge" in 2008. Their sound can be best described as a mix of driving rock and dreamy atmospherics, bearing similarities to 90s post-hardcore and space rock. Read more about All The Way Rider on Last.fm.

Despite a fondness for booze of all forms, Minneapolis transplants Lesser Known Saint don’t let consumption get in the way of their shared desire to create dynamic music full of intertwining melodies, waves of texture, and sludgy riffs. With three guitars, bass, keyboards, drums, and three vocalists – fueled by black tooth grins and Black Label beer – the band wields a great amount of power.
