On Sunday 4 March Steve Overland chats to David Randall on David’s weekly show on Get Ready to ROCK! Radio. The feature will include tracks from the new album.

Says David: “Get Ready to ROCK! has supported FM since 2007 when they reformed and featured many album and gig reviews. We were there at the Metropolis album launch in February 2010 – their “comeback” album – and it is timely to catch up with the band again via our chat with Steve ahead of a new album release.”

The interview – to be broadcast at 22:00 GMT on Sunday 4 March – will be followed by Steve’s own selection in the “Favourite Tracks from Favourite Artists” series which features those artists and songs that have inspired and influenced him over the years. This sequence will be broadcast on Monday 5 March at 16:00 GMT, repeated on Thursday 8 March at 23:00.
