The band have been
extremely busy since reuniting in 2007, with a recent flurry of activity after
they released their ninth studio album HEROES AND
VILLAINS via Frontiers Music Srl in April 2015. That
album’s release was supported by UK tours in May and November and a European
co-headline tour with Electric Boys. 2015 festival appearances included HRH
AOR; Nantwich Jazz Blues & Music Festival; Frontiers Rock Festival; Graspop
Metal Meeting; Bospop; Ramblin' Man Fair; Steelhouse Festival and two festivals
in Sweden - Skogsröjet and Helgeåfestivalen. FM also headlined Planet Rockstock
in December.
FM's HEROES AND
VILLAINS tour continued throughout 2016 in addition to a run of special shows
in October / November to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the release of debut
album INDISCREET. To coincide with this tour FM released INDISCREET 30 - a new
recording of their classic album. FM also toured as Special Guests to Heart in
June/July 2016 taking in dates at London Royal Albert Hall, Manchester O2
Apollo, Glasgow Royal Concert Hall and Birmingham Symphony Hall. Festivals in 2016 included The Great British Rock
& Blues Festival in January, Sweden's Rockweekend AOR in February, Nantwich
Jazz in March and Troon WinterStorm in November.
FM’s touring
schedule for 2017 got underway with a set at HRH AOR in March followed by the
band’s first-ever show in Greece. In May they returned to Norwich and Nantwich
and in July they played the Rock & Blues Custom Show in Derbyshire. August
saw FM take part in a unique triple-headline show at Chepstow Castle with The
Quireboys and GUN. Later in the year FM headed to Germany for appearances at
Escape Open Air and H.E.A.T. festivals along with shows in Barcelona and Madrid
in November.
FM are true Melodic
Rock Giants and “Atomic Generation” is going to build even more on their Rock
solid foundations!
