Fresh from announcing details of their upcoming seventh studio album “Power To Play”, McFly share the projects lead single, “Where Did All The Guitars Go?”.
Described as being a “manifesto, declaration and a statement of intent” all wrapped into one, the hi-energy, rock infused track serves as the perfect sonic summation of the bands current mindset, as they prepare to unleash what looks set to be their most exciting era so far!
Describing the single, and the forthcoming record, Danny, Dougie, Harry and Tom say: “At the start of the process, we all got together and said what we wanted this new album to be. We all had this one thing in common, and it was guitars. 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. 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.”
