In the year that we played our first ever USA shows headlining Melodic Rock Fest in Chicago and also explored our inner Heavy Metal touring across Europe with Saxon, Raven and Wayward Sons, we thank each and every one of you for your unwavering support.
We've had an amazing year playing shows with some great pals including Dare, Toby Jepson and Hand Of Dimes, and festivals too... Frontiers Rock Fest in Milan where our set was recorded for our new live DVD - THE ITALIAN JOB - out in February, the two Melodic Rock Fests in Chicago and Malmo and Leicester Rocks with King King. It's always fantastic to see so many familiar faces in the crowd. With our touring schedule for 2019 building up nicely we can't wait to see you all again next year!
To all our fans old and new, a massive thank you for being part of FM's Atomic Generation in 2018. We look forward to blowing the doors off in 2019!
We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy and peaceful New Year.

Hot on the heels of the release of their 10th studio album ATOMIC GENERATION, UK’s melodic rock finest FM started their tour cycle with a stunning appearance in front of the Frontiers Rock Festival crowd in Milan, Italy. FM offered up a set which included fan favourites and classic songs from their first two albums, "Indiscreet" and "Tough It Out", alongside cuts from recent releases "Heroes & Villains" and the aforementioned "Atomic Generation", along with some surprises, such as the 1987 single "Let Love Be The Leader," thrown in the mix.
THE ITALIAN JOB documents this show. An absolute gem of an album, it is unmissable not only for FM followers, but all fans of the melodic rock genre.
Bassist and founder member Merv Goldsworthy says: "Knowing we were recording and
filming the show there was a lot more pressure this time. But that aside we knew
the Italian fans and the fans travelling from around the world would not let us down.
We need not have worried as you will see from the footage, it was a marvellous evening.
We were blown away by the audience reaction. This is the only live album that features
some of the newer material from Metropolis, Rockville, Heroes And Villains and Atomic
Generation. It's a good representation of where the band is today."
