FM Releases New Single and Video ‘Don’t’ Need Another Heartache’

In celebration of their 40th Anniversary (1984-2024), legendary British AOR rock band FM are proud to release “Don’t Need Another Heartache”, the second single take from their forthcoming fourteenth studio album Old Habits Die Hard.

With Steve Overland’s smooth rock vocals and Jim Kirkpatrick’s catchy guitar riffs, FM’s new single “Don’t Need Another Heartache” is a dead ringer for a classic rock hit. Grounded in blues, the band’s rhythm section locks into some kind of groove. If this song is any indication of FM’s upcoming album Old Habits Die Hard, we’re in for a top-tier rocking ride.

Steve Overland says, ““This is one of the bluesier tracks on the album, kind of early Foreigner/Bad Company vibe. It’s about a guy that’s been in a bad relationship for too long, but he’s finally had enough.”

‘This song will probably be in the live set for the 40th anniversary tour as it’s one of our favourites from the album,” explains drummer and founder FM member, Pete Jupp.

Released to coincide with the band’s 40th Anniversary (1984 – 2024), vocalist, guitarist and founding member Steve Overland says, “the new album encompasses the best melodic elements of the band’s illustrious 40-year spanning career.”

“We really looked at what made the most popular FM albums great and tried to focus on that,” says Steve about the new album Old Habits Die Hard.

FM are known by many for their big choruses, twin lead guitars and Steve Overland’s intimate, yet powerful vocals, and clean guitar sound.

Following 2022’s Thirteen album, Old Habits Die Hard was delayed slightly by keyboard player Jem Davis’ cancer diagnosis (thankfully he’s now received the all-clear) and then by the sudden passing of FM’s founding guitarist Chris Overland (Steve’s brother), which hit the band hard.

Over the past 12 months, during their extensive touring schedule, FM produced the album themselves and recorded the bulk of it at their own Dale View and Electric Pepperland recording studios.
