| Description | FM has become one of the flag bearers of British melodic rock, having operated for many years through various musical climates, with the ever-present and exceptional voice of Steve Overland. Few, however, will be aware that the band''s history goes back at least a decade earlier when a few of FM were founding members of Wildlife, a group that emerged from their home county of Norfolk and scored a major record deal with the Chrysalis label. Formed in the late seventies, the band featuring future FM members Steve Overland, guitarist/brother Chris and drummer Pete Jupp. Signing to Chrysalis, the band cut their debut album, which was released in 1980 and produced by the then relatively unknown studio wizard Rupert Hine who later went on to work with Saga, Rush, Stevie Nicks and Tina Turner. Unusually for a British group at the time, their music was very much written and performed in a style most associated with American rock radio. Melodic and very well executed, Wildlife''s sound was particularly praised for the emotional and expressive vocals of Steve Overland who went on to be be rightly hailed as one of the UK''s greatest rock vocalists. Remastered, story of the making of the album, involvement by the band all spread out over a superb 12 page full colour booklet. |
