The FMs formed in 2016 in New York City, bringing a bold mix of synth-punk, lo-fi dream pop, and post-punk influences to the indie scene. Originally led by Matte Namer and the late Frankie Rex, the band started with immersive SVBVERT performances aboard a Brooklyn ferry, setting the stage for a distinctive live experience. After a landmark debut with Machinacene Epoch (2017) and a later signal of evolution with Pink + Black (2024), The FMs have continued to redefine their sound while honoring their roots.
