Whether it’s the diverse playing style of FOM's lead guitarist Ryan, “plucking the stringsâ€, Chris, the group’s leading soulful vocalist & bass guitarist, showing off two skills in one take, or the drummer Brian, “keeping up the tempoâ€. Each individual member possesses their own distinctive “touch of soul†appeal crossover.Performing mostly original tunes. They also add a light mixture of their most popular influences from The Police and Bob Marley, to performing video game favorites. This gives them the versatility to perform before various audiences, making you forget you were ever listening to a rock band.
Another big secret is; a hint of the ever so popular reggae is heard sublimely throughout their music. On a good night, the average Hip Hop, R&B, or Country fan can be seen "slam dancing to a cult".Unlike most Rock Bands, The guys in FOM are very approachable. Their music is no less than just pure talent and "easy on the ear". These area natives dress in cool, comfortable hip hop fashion. They elevate a new well-mannered southern-hip flavor to the music industry’s Pop, Rock World.
