[edit] Biography
Formed in Alabama in 2001 after the breakup of Jacob Bunton's major-label band Mars Electric,[1] Lynam is often aligned with the retro metal movement of the mid-2000's generation. Led by frontman and principal songwriter Jacob Bunton, the band is heavily influenced by Def Leppard and has drawn comparisons to Wolfmother. Since 2002, the band has self-released three albums; a fourth, 2006's Slave to the Machine, was released after the band signed to DRT Records. This album peaked at #21 on Billboard's Top Independent Albums chart and #19 on its Top Heatseekers chart.[2] Currently, they are working on a fifth album, Tragic City Symphony, expected out sometime in 2008. They have opened tour dates for bands such as Saliva, Live, Fuel, and Puddle of Mudd.[3] Most recently they opened for Hinder and Eighteen Visions on their 2006 tour. The band will open for Cinderella and Warrant during their summer 2008 tour.
