Formed in Alabama in 2001 after the breakup of Jacob Bunton's major-label band Mars Electric, [ [http://www.scorerocks.com/052003/lynaminterview4-03.shtml Lynam Interview] . Score! Music Magazine, March 15, 2003. Accessed April 7, 2007.] 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. Their fifth album, "Tragic City Symphony", was released on August 26, 2008 by New Ocean Media. This album features the song "Save My Soul," which has been getting national airplay on Sirius Satellite Radio's Octane station as well as on radio stations in the Birmingham area.
