McFly: Glasswerk

Här är en artikel från Glasswerk National:

"Fresh from the huge success of their hit single ‘Shine A Light’ and a triumphant 2010 which saw McFly launch their massively successful ‘Super City’ website, the band announce their first release of 2011, new single ‘That’s The Truth’.

Released on 6th March via Island Records, ‘That’s The Truth’ is written and produced by the band and uber US producer Dallas Austin (Madonna, Michael Jackson) and is the third single to be taken from the band’s fifth studio album ‘Above The Noise’.

‘That’s The Truth’ is a departure from the electronic sound and sublime synths featured on previous two singles ‘Shine A Light’ and ‘Party Girl’. A string orchestra accompanies the band’s heartfelt lyrics about honesty and working through problems in relationships, whilst the anthemic chorus has already proved to be a huge fan’s favourite at McFly’s recent live shows.

After performing five sold-out intimate mini-UK dates in October to preview ‘Above The Noise’, this Spring will see McFly play 13 dates across the country in their biggest ever UK tour. Their first Arena tour in two years will culminate in a show at Wembley, London.

2010 was a phenomenal year for McFly. Always looking for new ways to work within a piracy-hit music industry, the band launched their ground breaking ‘Super City’ website; a project two years in the making. The website provides worldwide fans with unrivalled access to the band; it has citizens rather than visitors where fans can subscribe to access further content including albums, demos and web chats. Super City launched on November 1st and has been an unprecedented success. Over 15,000 fans from all over the world subscribed within the first few days far exceeding the initial target of 10,000 pioneers within the first six months

With a fan base that now stretches around the world and having recently entered a joint venture with their original major label home, McFly have succeeded beyond their own expectations."

Frida INKORG + ABOVE THE NOISE

Idag när jag var i affären så såg jag att nya nummret av Frida kommit ut. Jag fick en stark känsla av att jag skulle hitta något McFLY relaterat i den så jag köpte den och tur var väll det för i "inkorgen" fanns en insändare från Carro. Hon hade, liksom flera andra, reagerat på att Frida skrivit att McFLYs nya skiva heter Super City Wants You, vilket är helt fel...
Bra gjort av Frida att be om ursäkt för "tryckfelet"! :)




På tal om nya skivan så har ju ABOVE THE NOISE äntligen släppts!
Ja, vi som är medlemmar på Super City har redan fått chansen att ladda ner skivan gratis men det är något specielt med att hålla skivan i handen och få spela den i cdspelaren ;)

Vill du beställa ABOVE THE NOISE från en svensk sida så skulle jag rekomendera att ni beställer från Megastore.se, de brukar vara väldigt snabba på att leverera. Annars finns det många säkra Engelska sidor att beställa ifrån där priserna kanske är lite lägre men leverans tiden lite längre.

Vi vill även be om ursäkt för att tävlingen som vi utlovade inte har dykt upp än.. Tro oss, vi jobbar på det och vi ber så hemskt mycket om ursäkt men det är väldigt mycket som händer just nu så vi ber er om lite tålamod, tävlingen kommer vi lovar.

Hoppas att alla tycker att Super City fungerar bra och att ni har hunnit uppleva allt det underbara som finns där? Det här är ändå bara början, det kommer komma mer! ;)

contactmusic: Mcfly To Get Dance Mix

McFly have revealed DJ Roger Sanchez is so impressed by their new material, he wants to remix their new album.

McFly are going to be remixed by Roger Sanchez.

The 'Song For the Radio' group - who unveiled a new pop-dance influenced sound on their latest album 'Above The Noise' - met the dance superstar at a London hotel in August, and singer Danny Jones said he was instantly reminded of Dallas Austin, who produced tracks on their new LP.

He said: "Roger got in touch, so I met him when we were in America. He reminded me a lot of Dallas Austin but with a sentimental side. He's got family and hangs out with his kids, whereas Dallas would be like 'Wahey, let's go out and get some birds.

"But he was a lot like Dallas, he wore his shades inside and stuff, he's a really nice guy and he gave me some good advice and wants to do some McFly remixes and stuff, and he wants to help me with my dance project."

The 'Party Girl' group - which also includes Tom Fletcher, Dougie Poynter and Harry Judd - also said that when it comes to partying themselves, they prefer to hang out with each other rather than at clubs or showbiz events.

Dougie exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "We don't really go to many celebrity parties. I think the majority of our parties are at home with our friends, or just us lot. They're like the bad nights for hangovers. But we do sort of branch out to the clubs and have a crazy night every now and then."

Dailyrecord: We don't worry about critical acceptance - we have fans who love our music, says McFly's Tom Fletcher

Här är en intervju med Tom gjord av Dailyrecord.co.uk:

McFLY are back - and this time they don't care what their critics think.

It's been six years since the American-style punk pop of debut album Room On The 3rd Floor took them to No1 and made them the UK's top teen pin-ups.

And it's been two years since they independently released Radio:Active as a free newspaper giveaway.

It looked like the last desperate throw of the dice for the young band. Despite playing their own instruments and writing their own songs they weren't given credibility or the critical acceptance of other British bands.

This seemed all the more certain when singer and guitarist Danny Jones was one of the celebrities on Popstar To Opera Star, which included talent show veterans like Darius Campbell and Kym Marsh.

But they are back with their biggest-selling single in five years and a new urban sound that fits in perfectly with the hot groups of the moment like JLS - and without losing what made fans love them in the first place.

Tom Fletcher revealed: "I think our age was a big factor in people not taking us seriously in the past. But we are older and released an album independently which made people start to pay attention.

"We are past critical acceptance being an issue because we have come to accept it and think, 'Why worry about it when we have fans who love our music and love who we are, buy our music and come to see our shows.'

"The rest doesn't affect us now."

Of course, pasty-faced indie types or old rockers would probably love their favourite bands to have achieved as much as these young lads.

Tom, 25, Danny, 24, Dougie Poynter, 22, and Harry Judd, 24, are at an age when many bands start their careers but they've already have seven No1 singles and two No1 albums.

Their new publicity photos show them as bigger and buffer, especially Tom.

At the beginning, he was always looked on as the Gary Barlow of the band - the one who writes the songs and sings but is, well, a bit beefy.

So has Tom been to the gym for their new look?

He said: "I think it's just me growing up. I'm 25 now and I think you change a hell of a lot. I was 17 when we started."

McFly have grown up and are in control of their own destiny. After leaving Island and going it alone for Radio:Active, they have re-signed with the label but on a 50:50 basis. Not many bands, whether that's The Libertines or Oasis, could boast that kind of deal with a major.

Tom added: "It's hard to work out why we have stuck around.

"But we are best friends and we see so many bands that don't actually get on and don't like the music they play.

"We genuinely live and breathe McFly. It means everything to us."

The 50:50 deal puts the lads in an amazing place in British music and sets them up for a stunning comeback.

Next week, they kick off a short tour in Southampton and will play Edinburgh Playhouse a week on Sunday.

It will allow the band to showcase the songs from their new album Above The Noise.

It's out on November 15. Their single Shine A Light, which features Taio Cruz, is available to download on November 7.

Do they feel like they are making a comeback? "We've actually been touring the world for the last two years," corrected Tom.

"Although we've been out of the public eye in the UK for a while, we haven't been apart as a band."

The first taste of the new sounding McFly happened in Scotland at the pop festival In:Demand Live back in July. McFly played new single Party Girl and it went down a storm.

It went to No6 in the charts.

While it wasn't a No1, it was an big moment for the band.

Tom explained: "It was a landmark for us because it's one of the biggest selling singles we've had, certainly since I'll Be OK, which was a few albums ago.

"Although it was only No6, it was an incredible achievement for us.

"It was also the most downloads we've ever sold. In week one, we sold 40,000 copies and 31,000 were downloads."

McFly are moving with the times and have created a supersite called Super City which aims to offer fans, called Pioneers, exclusive products and first dibs on releases and tickets.

But when it But when it was launched on October 1, it crashed. "A bittersweet moment," admitted Tom.

"At one point there were about 62,000 people trying to sign up at the same time."

That's an impressive amount of fans wanting to be part of the McFly family. And it's costly - £6 a month or £40 a year.

Tom defended the amount.

He said: "I think they are getting way more than their money's worth. I'm not going to be apologetic for that.

"On iTunes you get an album for about £7.99 usually. If you sign up for our Super city site you'll pay six pounds and get the album free.

"And then there will be all the other stuff, exclusive music that we will never release anywhere else, anything we release physically will be released digitally through the site first, you'll get VIP entrance to gigs, you'll be the first people to get tickets and the best tickets and be invited to meet us for meet and greets."

Really it's everything a fan would want from a band but if everyone is joining the site and getting the album through that, won't they jeopardise getting future No1 albums?

Tom shrugged: "Chart positions have become less and less important.

"Unless you are No1, no one pays attention to whether you are No2 or No15 and no one really cares.

"We prefer people to sign up to our super site than give us a No1 single.

"It's incredible when you have a No1. It's a reflection of selling a lot and doing well but a fan willing to pay £40 a year or £6 a month shows that they are passionate about McFly and what we do.

"It means hell a lot more than someone just downloading the songs."

Of course, the music is at the heart of McFly and always has been - even way back in 2003 when they formed.

Tom had tried out for turn of the century pop punk trio Busted but lost out to Charlie Simpson.

However, the team behind Busted teamed him up with the trio's main songwriter James Bourne and Tom co-wrote eight of the 15 tracks on the group's second album A Present For Everyone.

Tom has actually written or co-written 10 No1 singles, seven with McFly and three of Busted's - Crashed The Wedding, Who's David and Thunderbirds.

During his time writing for Busted, the record label asked if he could film auditions for a new band V and there met Danny Jones. They clicked and had soon decided to form their own band recruiting Dougie and Harry through an advert in the NME.

The American-style pop punk of their early music has been radically changed for the new album and that's thanks to working with Dallas Austin, who has produced Prince, Madonna and Taio Cruz.

Tom said: "It's very different to what we've ever done before. It's taking the sounds of Michael Jackson, Prince and Madonna but without losing our pop melodies."

They had recorded another independent album two years ago in Australia after Radio:Active but they felt the 10 songs were just more of the same and they wanted to challenge themselves for their fifth album.

They demoed a new sound with synths. Universal asked to sign them again.

Tom said: "The sound is still pop. We are still a band and, although we are using synths, we aren't trying to sound like The Killers, we're more pop."

Fans will be happy to hear McFly look like they'll be around for the long haul.

McFly play Edinburgh Playhouse on October 24. Their new single Shine A Light ft Taio Cruz is out on November 7 and new album Above The Noise is out on November 15.

Mcfly To Attempt Metal?

Artikeln är från contact music.

"'Party Girl' singers McFly have changed their musical direction many times in their career, and reckon they could end up like ''Kiss or Slipknot'' in ten years time.


McFly reckon they will be like "Kiss or Slipknot" in ten years time.

The 'Party Girl' group have changed their sound dramatically over their career, going from guitar pop to rock and now having a dance music influenced sound; but singer and guitarist Danny Jones sees their long term future in either a glam rock or heavy metal.

He exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I reckon in 10 or 15 years we'll either be like Kiss or Slipknot where we have to cover ourselves up in all sorts of makeup. That'll be the way."

His bandmate, frontman Tom Fletcher, is a little less sure, saying he likes to take each new album as it comes.

He said: "It's hard to tell how we'll be in 10 years time, this time two or three years ago we'd never have imagined this album to be like it is, and each time we go into the studio and record an album you never really know what it's going to come out like, or what influences we're going to be into."

McFly - which also includes bass player Dougie Poynter and drummer Harry - release their seventh album 'Above The Noise' in the UK on November 15."

McFly nearly featured a rap on their new album.

Artikeln är från Contact music:

"McFly thought about featuring a rap on their new album, after producer Dallas Austin wrote a rap verse into one of their songs.

Although none of the 'Party Girl' rockers is keen on rapping over their own tracks, they revealed they were considering having a rap breakdown in one of the tracks they recorded for their new album 'Above the Noise', with US hop hip producer Dallas Austin.

Guitarist Tom Fletcher told BANG Showbiz: "A rap? Well, not with us performing it. If we featured a rapper, we could do that. I'd like us to do something with Tinie Tempah, that would be cool.

"Dallas did do a rap on one of our tracks. We did a thing on the album, that was really cool."

The band - who have used hip hop and pop producers on the album to create a different, more synthesiser led sound than their earlier, more rock material for their latest album - also said they enjoyed being in the studio in Atlanta, in the Southern US, because they were anonymous and there were no distractions.

Speaking at the BT Digital Music Awards, where the group performed last week, drummer Harry Judd added: "We went to Atlanta where Dallas is based, it's a great place to go and work, we've never released anything over there and never promoted anything, so nobody knows who we are over there. "It's purely for recording and hanging out with Dallas it was incredible. There's a good feeling out in America."

The band, which also includes Tom Fletcher and Danny Jones, said that didn't, however, stop them partying.

Tom added: "It's great being there with Dallas too, because everybody knows who Dallas is over there, he's a big celebrity - so he knows how to get things together.

"We went out quite a lot because we were all in a hotel, so we didn't have to go too far. And we were all up for it, we had nothing else to do but go out." "
