Formed in Birmingham, 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-2000s generation.
Led by frontman and principal songwriter Jacob Bunton, the band is heavily influenced by Def Leppard and has drawn comparisons to Wolfmother.
The members of the band want to "explore different opportunities outside of Lynam" but stress that they are not breaking up any time soon and will continue to play shows.
[2] The summer of 2012 the band announced on their website that they would be recording an EP entitled "Halfway To Hell", to be released late in 2012.
Lynam performed on another cruise, ShipRocked, November 15–20, 2009 with Queensrÿche, Tesla, Skid Row, Broken Teeth, EndeverafteR, Stereoside, and Stone Rider.
Jacob's Adler bandmate Lonny Paul has since joined Lynam, along with returning bassist Mark Dzier.
