Lync

by Jason AnkenyOlympia, Washington-based emo-punks Lync comprised singer/guitarist Sam Jayne, bassist James Bertram and drummer Dave Schneider. Formed in 1992, the trio soon debuted on the Magic Pail label with the single Pigeons; their next effort, Two Feet in Front, appeared on K as part of the labels International Pop Underground series. K also issued Lyncs first and last full-length, These Are Not Fall Colors; soon after the albums 1994 release, the band split. (The posthumous singles retrospective Remembering the Fireballs [Part 8] followed in 1997.) Jayne resurfaced in 1996 with the solo project Love as Laughter, debuting with the album The Greks Bring Gifts; for 1997s #1 U.S.A., credited to simply L.A.L., he reunited with fellow Lync alum Schneider, rounding out the lineup with bassist Jessica Espeleta.
