Digging through the dollar bin at a CD store in Cleveland this past weekend I came across the new release (Tragic City Symphony) by Alabama rockers Lynam. Not sure how a CD that came out in mid-August already found it’s way into the dollar bin (I’m thinking it was a promo copy the store got and didn’t realize it’s value) but I gladly threw down the cash to get a listen.
This is the band’s second release and the basic formula is mixing late ’80s cock rock (Motley Crue, Poison) with new school cock rock (Hinder) with maybe a dash of Fallout Boy included. It all adds up to a CD that any Buckcherry fan should own.
The first track – “Is This a Heartbreak or a Loaded Gun?” – is an amazing track and one that I’ve listened to probably a dozen times in the 3 days that I’ve owned the CD.
