Power to Play

McFly

A loud, guitar-heavy celebration of 80s arena rock and power pop. Massive riffs, stacked harmonies, and a defiant rejection of polished synth-pop trends.

Find on Amazon

It's basically a love letter to 80s hair metal and loud guitars from the guys you thought were just a boy band.

A high-energy, defiant celebration of rock and roll that feels both nostalgic and revitalized.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive, self-aware guitar riff that opens 'Where Did All the Guitars Go?' serving as a mission statement.
The massive, Queen-inspired vocal harmonies that elevate the chorus of 'God of Rock & Roll'.
The frantic, high-speed punk energy of 'Crash' that breaks the album's mid-tempo stride.
