After seventeen long years singer Oni Logan and guitar wizard George Lynch found their way back together and again show their amazing abilities in some killer new Hard Rock songs.” I would say this new record “Smoke and Mirrors”, is the record we should have put out as a follow up to “Wicked Sensation”…better late then never I guess...”, says Lynch presenting the new record.
Lynch Mob were formed by George Lynch, one of the few genuine guitar heroes of substance to emerge from the Los Angeles scene, after DOKKEN split up in 1989. The band’s first album” Wicked Sensation” went on to sell over 500,000 units in the US and featured the talents of singer Oni Logan, Anthony Esposito on bass and another former DOKKEN member Mick Brown on drums. After a tour in support of Queensryche, Logan opted out, with Robert Mason taking his place on the follow up self titled release. However Lynch and Brown eventually returned to Dokken releasing 2 studio albums until he left again in late 1997 putting together a several new incarnations of Lynch Mob and exploring new sounds with different projects.
However Oni Logan and George Lynch would found themselves again in a studio in the summer of 07. “We weren’t sure what was going to happen” recalls George, “but as soon as I heard what Oni was coming up with just off the top of his head, I knew the old chemistry was still there. So we spent many months writing. The first batch of songs had almost a Southern Rock feel to them and there was quite a bit of acoustic and slide work on those. They also had a genuine 70’s vibe. These first songs had elements reminiscent of Fleetwood Mac, Zeppelin, Black Crowes, Stones and it was all very bluesy. We lived with those songs for a while then went in and did a second round of collaboration. We had tightened up as a band after touring over the summer and we consciously wrote the newer material with the “Wicked Sensation” record in mind. So we updated the earlier songs a little and wrote a few more “adventurous” track and went in to start recording”.
Joining the new line-up are bassist Marco Mendoza (Whitesnake, Thin Lizzy) and drummer Scott Coogan (Brides of Destruction, Ace Frehley). More than a band, this team is guaranteed to create one of the most explosive shows you can ever experience and shines big time on the brand new recording which is set to bring back Lynch Mob on the map of the most exciting Hard Rock bands around! “Marco Mendoza is literally a gift from Heaven” continues Lynch. “How they figured out how to stuff all that talent and goodness into one person I’ll never know. they must have made a mistake at the factory! lol… then there’s Scott Coogan on drums…. baby of the band.. he’s very solid, very “Bonhamesque”. not sure if that’s a real word!”
Lynch Mob are ready to embark on a World Tour in the fall 2009 to follow up on the successful performance at the ROCKLAHOMA 2008 and to promote “Smoke and Mirrors”. “We have been expecting to go out in a support situation with a bigger act in the fall of 09 to coincide with the release of “Smoke and Mirrors” and were also expecting to visit Europe as well. It’s been way too long since I’ve played Europe and we need to tour there extensively… last time Lynch Mob toured Europe was with Queensryche… and I think that was 1991!” concludes George Lynch.

Lynch Mob is finally back with “Smoke and Mirrors”, the record that
all fans have been expecting since the release of their breakthrough
album “Wicked Sensation” in 1990! Critics and fans alike praised the
album for singer Oni Logan's hook-laden vocals and George Lynch's
virtuoso guitar playing. Shortly after touring in support of "Wicked
Sensation", Logan and the band parted ways.
After seventeen long years Oni Logan and George Lynch are back
together and they found again an incredible chemistry that brought
them to write some killer new songs. Joining the line-up are dynamic
bassist Marco Mendoza (Ted Nugent, Thin Lizzy) and drummer Scott
Coogan (Brides of Destruction, Ace Frehley). More than a band, this
team is guaranteed to create one of the most explosive shows you can
ever experience and shines big time on the brand new recording which
is set to bring back Lynch Mob on the map of the most exciting Hard
Rock bands around!
George Lynch says “"Smoke and Mirrors", is the record we should have
put out as a follow up to “Wicked Sensation” ...better late then never
I guess”.
With an career that spans over 30 years, George Lynch is one of the
most influential guitarist in modern music. In the 1980's, Lynch's
guitar playing and songwriting catapulted the band Dokken into a
highly successful, muti-platinum act. His work with Dokken solidified
Lynch as a full-blown guitar hero, earning a Grammy nomination in 1989
for best instrumental. After recording and touring relentlessly
through much of the decade, Lynch left Dokken in 1989 to form Lynch
Mob.
I don’t know what kind of sentimentality you, dear reader, attach to
previous Lynch Mob albums but this is definitely my favourite. You
might dig Wicked Sensation more but for me the rawness of Smoke And
Mirrors gives it that extra boost. The great moments are fricking
awesome, and even the ‘meh’ moments never hit you as bad, they just
don’t quite live up to the very best cuts. I'd definitely consider
this an essential George Lynch album. Highly recommended!
