Fresh from the release of their comeback single “Where Did All The Guitars Go?“ – taken from their forthcoming seventh studio album “Power To Play“ – McFly today (April 26th) share their brand new track “God Of Rock & Roll” and announce details of their upcoming UK tour!
Getting it’s premiere first play on Zoe Ball’s BBC Radio 2 show this morning, the infectious party anthem sees the band pay tribute to the all-encompassing rock sound that has inspired this new chapter in their career.
Commenting on the track, as well as their new album, Harry, Danny, Dougie and Tom say in a joint statement: “Once we had landed on the fact that we were going to do 80s rock, there was just something in it that had such a McFlyness within it. High concept, guitars front and centre, colourful. It’s all the things we have always loved about music and what we do with this band.”
It’s a party rock song at its core, but its seed was that if there was a god of rock and roll, we would undoubtedly be worshipping him. A lot of that came from going to shows ourselves. We all went to see Green Day, Fall Out Boy and Weezer last year and seeing so many people had come to the same place to enjoy rock music was incredible. Rock music celebrates life and having fun, and it feels like we all got deprived of that for such a long time.”
