To promote Tough It Out
, the band set out on a 42 date UK
tour that saw them returning to the Hammersmith Odeon. Soon afterwards, Chris Overland decided to leave FM, his final performance taking place at the Town & Country Club
. In his place, FM recruited Andy Barnett, a guitarist who had already been in a prototype line-up of the group, and had a co-writing credit for the Indiscreet song, "That Girl," which was later covered by Iron Maiden
as a B-Side. His debut with the group was 1991's Takin’ It To The Streets

concerts in the winter of 1992.
With Europe and the Far East markets opening up for FM, a full-time keyboard arrangement was made with Jem Davis (former Tobruk

), joining the band. The arrangement was short-lived. After the release of Dead Man's Shoes (FM album)
in 1995, the band split up.

In late 2009, the new single "Wildside" was released, as part of an EP containing new recordings and live tracks. For the first time new recruit Jim Kirkpatrick was featured on record. The single was a taster of forthcoming new album, Metropolis
.
Metropolis, FM's first new album since Dead Man's Shoes in 1995, was showcased at a sell-out launch party at The Roadhouse, Covent Garden, London in February 2010 and was released on 31 May 2010. Produced by the band, Metropolis met with critical acclaim and the two singles from the album - “Hollow” (released 17 May 2010) and “Bring Back Yesterday” (released 7 September 2010) each spent a month on the playlist at BBC Radio 2
and were playlisted on many other radio stations.
