Hitonindie.com:
“Lÿnx is an honest to goodness rock n roll band in a time when rock needs just that. They offer up blistering guitar riffs and solos, melodic choruses, and high energy performances that resemble the spirit of a time long gone by.”
Thomas Bedward – Broken 8 Records:
“A brilliant release that perfectly builds on the stage that their self titled EP set. ‘Long Live Rock N Roll’ is a direct unyielding ode to what rock music used to be. A release that’s not for the faint of heart, its bold, brash and wonderfully Brutal. Landing as one of Lÿnx’s defining musical moments”
Dave Wilks – CGCM Radio/Podcast:
“Opening tracks can tell you a lot about an album. Sometimes bands come out swinging, and others take a slow burn approach. There’s no slow burn in Lÿnx. And the title track ‘Long Live Rock N Roll’ roars out of your speakers. It features a great guitar solo, fantastic percussion, and drips with 80s glam.”
MusicNotez Magazine:
“This is a really solid, fun band that were excited about, and can’t wait to hear what’s next. So, Crank it up and press play!”

“All of us have put a lot of thought into this album, as every artist does. With our new frontman and his extraordinary talent, it has opened a whole new list of possibilities, and the energy that is Lÿnx has just gone to the next level. From Japan to Spain, the USA, and Germany our previous EP’s have made it to different parts of the world, our next album is going worldwide! We are trying to give our fans the whole experience with this album. If you want to tour downtown with your girl or your boys and crank up the tunes, we got that. If you want to sit back and chill, listen to some good time rock, we got that too. You’re having a party? Hell Yeah! We should be the first album played because that’s what Lÿnx is. We bring the energy, the noise and want everyone to enjoy it with us!”
“The album is straight, heavy Rock’n’roll, you could pull it right off the shelf of any record store on the Sunset Strip in the late 1980’s, of course with our modern day producing and mastering!”
‘Hell In High Heels’:
“This song was Ja6ur’s Ex. We wanted to express in words the feeling of ‘Forbidden Fruit’ in a sense. When you know it’s gonna hurt but you still need it. Every person has that one volatile relationship, we’ve just given it lyrics.”
‘Rock Machine’:
“What’s a home? Safe space, family, comfort etc. Not for us! The tour vehicles never get the appreciation they deserve. Band’s tour bus/van/cars are our home away from home and we decided to write our anthem for these long overlooked heroes.”
‘Claws Out’:
“Title Track!!! With this one we wanted to hit hard and fast. So one thing led to another and well…Werewolf! In honesty, we wanted this one to have a different theme than other songs and it went through about 3 different versions before we decided to get Ja6ur write some bloodthirsty werewolf shit and it just worked out.”
‘Can’t Get Enough’:
“Sex! Drugs! Rock N’ Roll! Who doesn’t love a party anthem? Can’t Get Enough, we want more too! Always to excess, the chorus wanted those gritty Crüe gang vocals, the general theme stemming from Fangs and his vision of a night out with his lady.”
‘Shake it Up’:
“Every band needs that one fast paced shake your ass kind of song, something to get the ladies moving and the men groovin’. Shake it up has all the feels from the catchy riffs to the furious guitar solo. Strong bass to keep the beat, banging drums you’ll feel in your chest, and a screeching vocal tune that may just have you coming back for more!!!”
‘Band of Brothers’:
Fangs:
“For a long time I’ve held the idea that family is not just what you’re born into but also those people that you choose to be in your life. One night while under the influence of a magical spore it became clear to me that the brothers I always wanted were already in my life. This is my ode to them.”
‘Nothing But Love’:
“Every good rock record has the one your girlfriend likes! So here ya go. We wrote this one about our special ladies and now you can cover it when you’re in the dog house.”
‘Hard As Life’:
“Been bullied? Shit on at work, for no reason? Had a bad fucking day? We wrote this for exactly these times, we’ve been there, you’re not alone!”
‘Pull the Trigger’:
“This song is about the 1950s Anti Rock n Roll movement/propaganda where it was considered as the ‘Devil’s Music’ or was believed as the cause of the nation’s social ills and youthful rebellion. As a result, it was banned from many radio stations, schools etc. ‘Pull the Trigger’ is our way of telling them to Fuck off!”
‘Lights Out’:
“What’s more punk than getting punched out at your favorite karaoke bar? Okay there’s probably a lot but that’s not the point. Anyways that’s what happened to our buddy Cooper. Next thing you know there’s a song about it (with minor embellishments) We’ll make an honest man out of him one day!”
Lÿnx is a Hard Rock/Hair Metal four-piece band currently based in Calgary, Canada formed in 2020 during the pandemic.
“We are all blue-collar worker who have spent years and years grinding away the short time we have on this earth living someone else’s dream. We all decided as a band to create our own path while putting our heart, soul, and past experiences into our music. Our passion to create music is what drives us, while knowing that once we make it we never want to go back to the mundane working life we all know.”
Connected by a shared love of 80s Rock, the band immediately set about writing original songs that embody the style & swagger of the past, while embracing the polished production & down to Earth grit of their more modern rock influences.
“Our guitarist Blade uses his background in music production to compose a lot of our songs at work without an instrument in his hands. Constantly thinking of different riffs, beats he then goes into hope and sees how they can work musically. A lot of them works and some don’t but once he has an idea in his head he records it on his phone, goes home, grabs a guitar and starts figuring out how he can make it into the Lÿnx signature sound.”
Having gained a reputation for their anthemic choruses, sizzling guitar solos & powerhouse vocals, Lÿnx have garnered a dedicated & eclectic international fan base.
“Our first show together was a show at the Blind Beggar in Calgary. We put on a 3-band show with us being the headliner to close out the night. We prepared our setlist and hit the stage. After the set, the crowd was demanding an encore, and of course we didn’t have one. We ended up playing ‘Long Live Rock n Roll’ again and invited the crowd up to join us on stage and dance out the rest of the show. It was a great moment for the band and the fans loved it, what a great way to close out our first show together.”
The band aims to build on the momentum created by their released music & push their sound into even more extreme & rock n’ roll places.
“We want our fans to be taken back to a time long gone that was full of hair, crazy outfits and rockstars. As well as bring in a new generation who might pass off the music as “our parent’s music” we believe that the rock n roll genre has taken a backseat for a while to other genres which isn’t a bad thing, but we want to make sure that the rock is still alive and make our forefathers proud.”
