Lynam
A while ago, I wrote about Jacob Bunton being the lead singer in Steven Adler’s (former drummer in Guns N’ Roses) latest solo project ”Adler”, who released the album ”Back From The Dead”. An album that I like very much and it got me curious if the members of the band ”Adler” had some interesting music projects of their own. I found out that Jacob Bunton, who sings in ”Adler” also is the lead singer and plays guitar in the band ”Lynam”, that started the year of 2001 in Birmingham, Alabama, USA. Within the years 2002 - 2004 the band had self released no less than three albums, ”White Trash Superstar”, ”Bling! Bling!” and ”Life In Reverse”.
Now five albums/EP’s later and despite an announcement of them calling it quits in October of 2010 after the live album ”Thank You Good Night!”, that also would have been their final album, they are, after some line up changes still playing together and last year (2015) their latest EP ”Bombshell” came out.
I think Lynam plays solid modern, hard rock, but adds a few experimental elements to the music, which I think freshens it up. I don’t have any particular example for these ”experimental elements”, just that the music have got bits and tones that you usually don’t hear in the rock music genre. But with all new and experimental music that sounds like something you’re not used to be hearing, it sometimes works and it sometimes don’t. Most of Lynam’s songs are awesome rock songs, that goes well with music in different genres and with that I mean that their songs dosen’t clash with pop-, poprock-, poppunk- and metal songs etc. that certain rock music does.
This music is made to be played out loud, but some songs needs a listen or two, in order to get into the groove. Right now Lynam are working on a new record, but the word is that they will go more pop. I really hope they won’t mess up the good Lynam-rock-sound, because I think it’s so refreshing to hear a band play this type of solid rock.
I’ve put in some of my favorite Lynam songs for you to have a listen to in a iTunes playlist, which you can find below and you can also check out the video to the song ”Cold”, from the ”Halfway To Hell” album, 2013. Hope you’ll like the songs as much as I do.
Don’t forget to check out Lynam’s twitter, Facebook or website for more info about the band.
Fun fact; Jacob Bunton is the only one, that I know, who is in three bands all named after a drummer, Lynam, Adler and Grohl at the same time.
