Biography

FM Berlin is a four-piece Alternative Rock band from Moncton, New Brunswick that sounds like The Police and The Strokes made a baby... in space.

The band’s new album, At Least You’re Having Fun, (July 2017) had a few false starts, “We recoded the entire album in a state of the art recording studio at the Dartmouth Nova Scotia community college, but we felt the sound wasn’t quite right.” explains the band’s frontman Corey Hachey. “We ended up putting together our own home studio in Moncton where we could spend more time getting the sounds right.” The new album was then produced remotely (via email and skype) by two Toronto based producers, Jason Dufour (Tokyo Police Club, July Talk, Lights) and Josh Bowman (worked with Matthew Good and The Balconies).

The first single, “Yer Honour”, is an upbeat pop rock song laden with new wave guitar runs and soaring chants of “Oh oh oh oh oh oh” in the chorus. “It’s a song about not giving in to self-doubt,” says Hachey. With lyrics like, “…say what you will, but I’ve been hard to kill, tell everyone else, that I ain’t going down….” that message is clearly delivered.

FM Berlin gleaned its name from (Bassist) Glen Farquhar's father who (in June of 1960) carried a concealed camera into Soviet occupied East Berlin, and was able to smuggle pictures of the bombed out city back to Canada.
