FM Top the Online Chart at Rock Radio!
From the pen of Pete Jupp...
Hi everybody,
I was about to start checking my emails on Monday morning and decided to have a listen to Rock Radio on the web. I was having a look around their site when I clicked on the online chart link and the following appeared:
A big thanks to all the Rock Radio listeners who voted for us. I’m not sure how it works and I think it’s an ever-changing chart but what the hell, we were Top of the Pops on Monday morning and it made an ageing FM drummer smile.
Love, light and peace.
Pete

FM June 2008 News
Hi there people, it’s June already! Where does the time go? Firstly the shop seems to be working very well and we’d like to thank everyone who has stopped by and purchased something, we really appreciate your support of the band. We’ll be putting up more stuff over the coming months so keep checking back. We’ve been chatting about getting some FM T-Shirts made and after the Firefest shirt cock-up (see Pete's Firefest diary) we’re looking for a new shirt company as we speak. If anyone has any ideas about what kind of design we should go for get on the forum and get discussing people. We do enjoy reading all your comments so keep 'em coming. We’ve even noted a couple of your ideas for possible future ventures, but that’s as much as we’re letting on.
The songs are coming thick and fast. We’ve finished writing 4 more - "Who’ll Stop the Rain" pure AOR, "Drop the Bomb" a groovy rocker, "Forever and a Day" balladicious and "The Fight Goes On" an anthem of gigantic proportions. There are more ideas that just need finishing so although we say it ourselves the writing is going really well and we’re having a blast doing it.
Guess what… you’ll never believe it… it can’t possibly be true… Yes the Firefest DVD is nearly finished! Look out for an advert and clips on this site very soon.
A big shout goes out to all the good people at Rock Radio 106.1 especially our old pal Paul Anthony who has championed the band for years. We are being played regularly to such an extent people are asking "Who’s this new band FM?" Tune in and listen in the Greater Manchester area on 106.1 or on the interweb at www.rockradiomanchester.co.uk.
Also a big up goes out to our good friend Steve Price at ARfm who did a lengthy interview with Steve for his new album "Breakaway" (signed copies available now in the webshop at a very reasonable £9.50). Of course chat soon turned to FM and poor Steve was grilled for about an hour. More big ups go to young Malcolm Dome and Darryl Kirby at Total Rock for shamelessly plugging our online shop the day before it opened, respect guys!
That’s it folks, look out for the DVD ad over the next few weeks.

FM Web Shop News
Hi everybody,
We're delighted to announce the opening of our 'FM Online Shop'. It will open to coincide with the release of Steve's new album "Breakaway" on May 18th. This will be the only place to get a signed copy of this great album. We've got some more copies of "Vintage and Rare" as well as back catalogue items. The shop will grow over the coming months so check it out regularly to see what new products we have for sale.
We've thought long and hard about our new album with regards to how it will be released, and have decided after long and careful consideration, to take the plunge and form our own label. As we won't have a record company paying for studio/rehearsal time etc., proceeds from the shop will go towards funding the recording of our new studio album, future touring plans and of course the upkeep of the web site. We will try to be as competitive as possible with other online shops, but buying from us will be at the forefront of enabling us to bring you future releases.
Tune in and check out on May 18th!

April 2008 News Update
From the pen of Steve Overland...
Hi everybody,
I hope you’re all keeping well and it’s nice to talk to you all again. Sorry this month’s news is a little late but the lovely Dawn has been away the past couple of weeks. I just wanted to take this opportunity to say a few words about the "Overland" album which is due for release on May 21st. The album is titled "Breakaway" and I’m extremely happy with the way it’s turned out. It was recorded in Sweden last summer at co-writer/producer Anders Rydholm's studio. It features some great musicians - the Bissonette brothers, Anders himself, a fantastic young Swedish guitar player named Ola and a great singer Per Svenson on background vocals and of course me. The songs are very powerful as well as melodic and although different from FM they are still in the same mould. I think you’ll really enjoy the record and here are the titles of the 12 tracks:
This time
Alive and Kicking
Breakaway
Like a River
Look into your Eyes
After the Fire
Evangeline
Heartache Calling
Mad, Mad World
Lost in Paradise
Rescue Me
Until Forever Comes
As I said earlier all the tracks are written with Anders and I hope you enjoy the record.
Onto FM news, the website shop is nearing completion and should open in the near future, we’ll post its opening date very soon. You’ll be able to buy an exclusive signed copy of "Breakaway" through the FM shop.
FM have been hard in rehearsals down at Papa Joe’s arranging some new songs and they’re coming along really well. The live DVD, despite a few technical glitches, is really coming together now and looking and sounding great. Be patient with us, we’re working really hard on getting the new album and DVD together and I’m sure the wait will be worth it. Talking of which, it’s time to get back to writing songs for the new album for me and the lads.
All the best,
Steve.
