FM formed in London, England in 1984 and quickly hit the road touring with the likes of Meat Loaf, Tina Turner, Foreigner, Gary Moore, Status Quo and the white-hot Bon Jovi on their "Slippery When Wet" tour.

For the next 12 years FM consolidated their position at the forefront of British melodic rock, touring everywhere they could to promote releases such as their 1986 debut INDISCREET, 1989's TOUGH IT OUT album, APHRODISIAC released in 1992 and 1995's DEAD MAN'S SHOES.

In 2007 - after a 12 year sabbatical - FM were persuaded to return to the stage for a 'one-off' headline performance at a sold-out Firefest IV at Nottingham Rock City. The rapturous reception from the fans at Firefest led to FM quickly making the decision to record a new album and following a return to Firefest in 2009, in March 2010 FM released their much-anticipated sixth studio album METROPOLIS.

When not touring, FM have been busy in the studio and since their 2010 'comeback' album they have released 2013's double helping of ROCKVILLE and ROCKVILLE II; HEROES AND VILLAINS in 2015 and ATOMIC GENERATION in 2018 along with INDISCREET 30 - a new 2016 recording of FM's classic debut album to celebrate the 30th anniversary of its release - and THE ITALIAN JOB live DVD/CD. SYNCHRONIZED was released in 2020 followed by the aptly-titled thirteenth studio album THIRTEEN in 2022.

In 2024 FM celebrated their 40th Anniversary with the release of the band's fourteenth studio album OLD HABITS DIE HARD accompanied by an extensive touring schedule taking in 50 shows in 15 countries, including the band's first-ever shows in Latin America.

2025 sees FM embark on their "Brotherhood" tour in conjunction with the release of their new album of the same name, due out 5 September 2025.
