The mighty FM return with a new album in classic FM style! 12 years after their split in 1995, at Nottingham Rock City on 27th October 2007, after considering (and declining) multiple previous approaches from the organisers of a melodic hard rock all-dayer called the Firefest, Merv, Steve, Pete, Andy and Jem finally played together again in public for the first time.

With stage two of the group’s career about to begin, they were disappointed to accept the resignation of Andy Barnett. However, with an exciting new guitarist on board these plans are now firmly back on target. Brought into the band at Steve Overland’s suggestion, Jim Kirkpatrick was already a huge fan of FM so it was an honor to accept the chance of joining a group whose records he loved. Kirkpatrick was blooded at a low-key gig at Wigan’s Winstanley College in March 2009. All too aware of the way others have fallen at the same hurdle, FM have taken their time in completing a comeback disc, ‘Metropolis’, which drops in March 2010

Line-Up: Steve Overland (vocals, guitars), Merv Goldsworthy (bass), Pete Jupp (Drums), Jem Davis (Keyboards), Jim Kirkpatrick (Guitars)

Track list:  01.Wildside, 02.Hollow, 03.Flamingo Rd, 04.Unbreakable, 05.Days Gone By, 06.Metropolis, 07.Over You, 08.Don’t Need Nothin’, 09.Bring Back Yesterday, 10.I Ain’t The One, 11.Extra Mile, 12.Who’ll Stop The Rain, 13.The Fight Goes On
