British band FM will their 15th studio album next month. They’ve released 2 singles/videos so far, both are excellent aor-type rockers. Check out the press info below, as well as the videos, and the links.
It’s no surprise that FM’s upcoming album ‘Brotherhood’ continues to showcase their signature blend of hook-laden AOR and blues-tinged hard rock that solidifies their status as masters of the genre.
‘Brotherhood’ showcases a band at the top of their game with highlights including an infectious anthem “Living on the Run,” anthemic rocker “Don’t Call It Love,” the punchy and powerful “Coming For You,” and the emotionally charged “Time Waits For No One,” all tracks that echo the spirit and melodic strength of FM’s early classics, while being unmistakably fresh and vibrant.
Opening track, “Do You Mean It,” brings a bluesy, soulful vibe that echoes the Doobie Brothers’ classic “Takin’ It To The Streets” sound, setting the tone for the album. ‘Brotherhood’ also features one of FM’s most powerful ballads to date, “Just Walk Away” – a beautifully emotional song that highlights the band’s mastery of melodic rock. Wrapping up the album is “The Enemy Within,” a track that introduces exciting new sonic ideas while retaining the powerful and melodic qualities FM fans love.
Supporting vocals from a female guest choir add warmth and dynamic depth to “Do You Mean It” and “Just Walk Away,” perfectly complementing Steve Overland’s consistently exceptional lead vocals.
Overland comments on the new album: “I am proud of the new album. It is one of our strongest song albums to date. It is another milestone, as it’s FM’s 15th album. It’s very well-paced and has great variation in song styles throughout. The album’s big ballad, ‘Just Walk Away,’ is one of our best. I hope our fans feel the same way as we do about ‘Brotherhood.'”
To promote ‘Brotherhood,’ FM will embark on a major UK headline tour in September 2025 with 14 confirmed shows, followed by European dates in early 2026. Visit FM’s official website for tickets.
