28th March 2022Melodic rock giants FM have just released āThirteenā, their appropriately entitled thirteenth studio album, to rave reviews. Self-produced, it is yet another high quality record that furthers the UK-based groupās standing as one of the leading melodic rock outfits in the world.

The rhythm section of bassist Merv Goldsworthy and drummer Pete Jupp anchor the band with a rock-solid backbone, while guitarist Jim Kirkpatrick delivers delicious hooks and melodies and keyboardist Jem Davis adds lush layers to their dynamic sound.
