Power to Play

Product Information

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.

From Sunday 29 October to Wednesday 22 November, they'll headline Southampton's O2 Guildhall, Birmingham's O2 Academy, Usher Hall in Edinburgh, O2 City Hall in Newcastle, Barrowlands in Glasgow, O2 Academy in Leeds, Victoria Warehouse in Manchester and Rock City in Nottingham.It is important that we continue to promote these adverts as our local businesses need as much support as possible during these challenging times. Over its 40 years in business, PIAS has grown to be one of the largest independently-owned music groups in the world, carving out its own in-house recorded music division PIAS [Recordings]. We have production talent, songwriting talent, design talent, everything we could ever need in this band. The track feels more punk than pop-punk, and in an album full of noisy energy its angst stands out as being genuinely bracing.

Route 55’ also shows they can produce radio friendly, ‘Boys Of Summer’-style driving songs to fill the radio airwaves with sunset, sugary guitar slices.

We're still keeping our finger's crossed for One Direction to come back but it's not looking likely. Now with a massively successful US tour opening for sweet soul darlings Thee Sacred Souls behind him, 2023 is sure to be a propitious year for Daptone's newest signee. It's a culmination of many different moments over the last few years that have allowed the band to feel this open, honest and driven.

Forever’s Not Enough provides an effective contrast between synth-led verses and overdriven hooks, a testament to fulfilling relationships with a little nod to The Darkness halfway through.Throwing off the shackles of expectations, focusing on the things they love the most about making music together and delivering their biggest, boldest and most brilliantly noisy statement yet. McFly are back with ‘Power To Play’, their biggest, boldest and most brilliantly noisy statement yet. When there’s even the slightest chance for the lead guitar to come out to play, it’s absolutely sizzling in a University Battle Of The Bands way. At Essentially Pop our remit is that we cover music that deserves to be heard, with a particular focus on independent artists.

Two years later we made the move to our present address, 35 The Headrow, where we have remained ever since. The boys — Tom Fletcher, Danny Jones, Dougie Poynter and Harry Judd — became the youngest band to debut an album at number one in 2004 with Room on the 3rd Floor, which included some of the bands best known songs today, including Five Colours in Her Hair and Obviously. Power To Play’ has been produced by Danny, alongside the band’s good friend Jason Perry, and it’s filled to the brim with hair metal cheese, glam rock glitter, and a heavy metal attitude, that hints at Van Halen, Mötley Crue, Poison and Def Leppard.Ditto Tom Fletcher, the usual lead vocalist; he has a brilliant indie voice that could grind stone into sand if he let it rip, but he sounds mostly apathetic in this song. The performances come in support of their upcoming album Power To Play which is set for release on Friday 9 June.
