In a new interview with Bring Back Glam!, Jacob Lynam (vocals and guitar) and David Lynam (drums) of Birmingham, Alabama-based hard rockers LYNAM discuss working with Tom Keifer of CINDERELLA and joining VINCE NEIL's Motley Cruise. The following is an excerpt from the interview:

Q: I just recently learned of your band. How are you gaining such a strong following?

A: Jacob Lynam - "We released the record (Slave To The Machine) nine or ten months ago on DRT, it came out everywhere, so that was the first time a lot of people had heard of us other than the south east states, then we went on tour with HINDER, and played shows with CINDERELLA, RATT and POISON. We also went out with GODSMACK, PUDDLE OF MUDD and SALIVA – and that opened up a lot of people’s eyes to who we are and what we do. It’s definitely been a building process."

Q: How long have you had your new album Tragic City Symphony in the can?

A: David Lynam - "Like a week ago, we wrapped production on the last song."

Jacob - "We may do some more songs. We’ve had the songs for awhile. It’s one of those things: like a lot of bands will write ten songs when they are making a record, and say that’s enough for a record. Then, if you listen to those ten songs, maybe only two or three of them are worth a shit. Just because you write ten songs doesn’t mean the album is done. We sent them to our manager, and we get together with our diehard fans and we sort out everyone’s favorite songs. Every now and then, there will be a song we fall in love with, but once we play it live and listen to it recorded we’re like 'You know what? That’s not a very good song, and we could do better!' There was a couple songs on Slave To The Machine that we felt that way about. We loved them when we wrote them, but when we recorded them, we felt we could do better. It turns out that management and the label and other people liked the songs, so they ended up going on the record anyway. Different strokes for different folks. Everyone has different tastes."
