McFly are back – bigger and bolder than ever – with their seventh album ‘Power To Play’.
Due this summer, the LP sees Tom Fletcher, Danny Jones, Harry Judd and Dougie Poynter return to the guitar-driven pop rock that earned them their earliest success, with lead track Where Did All The Guitars Go? a sure fire sign of what’s to come.
“At the start of the process, we all got together and said what they wanted this new album to be. We all had this one thing in common, and it was guitars,” says the band of the 11-song record, which is produced by Danny, alongside their good friend Jason Perry.
“We love being on tour and playing live, and we hate this weird pressure where you don’t get played on the radio if you have guitars in your songs. That was always in the back of our heads, so we decided to forget all about it and that same day Tom wrote Where Did All The Guitars Go? on the way home.”
They add: “On every album, there’s a song which becomes a foundation, a lightbulb moment, and this was it. Guitars, honesty, energy, all these personality traits are what give us the band’s identity. We want to reach that kid with long hair, get them excited about music and make them want to pick up a guitar and jump on their bed. That’s what this record is about.”
‘Power To Play’ is out June 9 via BMG and available to pre-order now.
