Chris Overland, founding member and guitarist of British AOR legends FM, has passed away. The band announced the news two days ago (August 25, 2023) on their official Facebook profile (you'll find the original post below). In the summer…

"Synchronized is another top-notch chapter from this long-running British AOR outfit. Fans of the British take on the genre will be thrilled, and for the revivalists (the younger crop of melodic rock bands) it'll once again serve as a handy…

"»Attitude« is, and we say this with zero modesty, already one of the highlights of 2019 for AOR/melodic rock albums! "

Another crowning jewel in the band's rich discography, and of course a fresh masterclass in writing and producing AOR!

»Heroes and Villains«, the band's ninth studio album overall, picks up the story so successfully told by both »Rockville« albums, and it also celebrates the band's first 30 years!

With their upcoming new album, FM won't be serving up any big stylistic departure from the current "Rockville" and "Rockville II". And that's exactly what their fans want most.

"Foreigner, Europe and FM are bands that each have their own path and identity, and every one of them managed to add its own little piece to the mosaic of yet another unforgettable concert experience tonight."

The old music cats led by Foreigner took a sold-out Hammersmith Apollo in London straight back to the eighties, when the charts belonged to the rock tradition of melodic brilliance.

»Rockville II« is the second album from FM, released at the end of this March, just 14 days after its predecessor »Rockville«. It's a touch "softer," and that makes the feels hit even harder.

So the excellent predecessor »Metropolis« wasn't just a one-off swallow. The follow-up album, »Rockville«, really does bring FM a new spring! And it's only the first »Rockville« album. »Rockvile II« is on its way, but more on that next…

"Metropolis" is a killer new comeback album from FM, the tailors of British AOR rock! With it, FM have picked up exactly where their story left off in the mid-nineties. FM just know how to do it!
