March 18 will see the release of melodic rock stalwarts FM official's thirteenth studio album, the appropriately titled Thirteen. Produced by the band, Thirteen is yet another high-quality album that furthers the band’s standing as one of the premiere melodic rock entities in the world.
The second single and video from the album, "Turn This Car Around", is out today. See the video below, and pre-order/save Thirteen on CD/LP/Digital here. Signed copies of the album can be pre-ordered from the official band store at the link above or directly, here.
The band's current, and longest running, lineup, in place since 2008, has spent the last decade plus writing, recording, and touring and thus is an incredibly gelled and cohesive unit. The rhythm section of bassist Merv Goldsworthy and drummer Pete Jupp anchor FM with a rock-solid backbone, while guitarist Jim Kirkpatrick delivers delicious hooks and melodies with keyboardist Jem Davis adds lush layers to the band's dynamic sound. And what more could be said about Steve "The Voice" Overland, whose golden pipes have easily withstood the test of time and who still sings like an angel, while adding delightful guitar parts to the proceedings. The five-piece once again bonds together as the mighty unit FM on Thirteen and delivers beautiful melodic rock that their fans have come to expect.
