Melodic rockers FM are hitting the road in March for a UK tour, and there is a new album “Old Habits Die Hard” out in May. I guess this single is a taster for what is to come and it finds the boys in fine form, giving eighties style rock a polish for 2024. It is their 40th Anniversary this year!

The first single for the upcoming album is “Out of The Blue” a song that originated from keyboard player Jem Davis. Says Jem, “the band love the music of Toto and Foreigner and so I tried to put those influences into one track. ‘Once Steve got involved and started singing it, I knew that we were onto something special.”

“Out Of the Blue is a song that old school FM fans will really latch on to,” says Steve. “So far, the reaction to the track has been amazing.”
The album continues with the rocker “Don’t Need Another Heartache” an AC/DC meets Foreigner anthem with an infectious chorus. ‘This song will probably be in the live set for the 40th anniversary tour as it’s one of our favourites from the album,” explains drummer and founder FM member, PeteJupp.

“THOSE SUMMER NIGHTS WE SHARED ARE OVER

NOW WINTER’S CHILLED YOUR HEART

GUESS YOU PLAYED ME FROM THE START…”

The band are clearly having a great time with this, there is confidence right through the track that positively grooves its way through the speakers with a bit of Whitesnake bubbling along in the pot. It points toward a great tour on the way, I have put all the information on it below and am just working out which gig to catch!

Sum it up in a sentence- confident, airwaves friendly rock made for commercial rock radio.
