First formed in 1999 as part of a youth club project, FR have been plying their trade in and around the Midlands for the past three years. Originally a five-piece, we've worked hard to create a distinctive sound and to promote ourselves in the area. At the beginning of 2003 our second guitarist parted company with us and after considering our options we decided to carry on as a four–piece.

In a nutshell, we want to carry on doing more of what we think we do best – play live and entertain the audience, including our growing fan-base. We are all fully committed to the band, fitting in gigs, practices and recording sessions around our work, college and university demands. We're always on the lookout for suitable gigs and are quite prepared to travel to get them. We'd like to think that everyone who comes to see us would have a great time, which is great because we do!

Final Redemption was signed to MAS Records in June 2005
