\n The record will be the band\u2019s first album since 2023\u2019s Power To Play, with the 40-year-old from Bolton saying he wants the group to sound like a \u201cglorified pub band\u201d on it.\n<\/p>\n

\n Danny, who attended Thornleigh Salesian College, said: \u201cIt\u2019s all under wraps until I tell you that we\u2019re making a new album.\n<\/p>\n

\n \u201cWe\u2019re in the studio at the minute, and it\u2019s funny because we were just talking about capturing the energy of (performing in a pub), we called ourselves the other day a glorified pub band, that\u2019s what we want to sound like.\n<\/p>\n

\n \u201cWe want to sound like a glorified pub band, but that hopefully can play arenas.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n Danny<\/a>, from Bromley Cross<\/a>,said the record would be partly inspired by the recently reunited Oasis, whose catalogue he said was made up of the \u201cbiggest sing-along songs ever created\u201d.\n<\/p>\n

\n The former I\u2019m A Celebrity\u2026 Get Me Out Of Here! winner added: \u201cWe (the public) all feel like we could probably be in Oasis, and I love that, that\u2019s what\u2019s great.\n<\/p>\n

\n \u201cThat\u2019s what was good about punk music<\/a>, punk music was massive because everybody felt like they could do it\u2026\n<\/p>\n

\n \u201cNot everybody can sing like Mariah Carey or Whitney Houston, that\u2019s like whoa, that\u2019s god-like\u2026\n<\/p>\n

\n \u201cSo what we\u2019ve been trying to create, actually, we\u2019ve been trying to find ourselves as a band recently, like what will fulfil all four of us, not just one or two of us.\n<\/p>\n

\n \u201cBecause over the years, I feel like maybe we\u2019ve tried to fulfil one of us more than the others, and what we discovered on our last album, there\u2019s been a couple of albums, (Radio:Active) and Power To Play. And when we play those songs, we look at each other and we\u2019re laughing and we\u2019re thinking this is badass, this is awesome.\n<\/p>\n

\n \u201cWe feel amazing, the others are all a little bit more challenging because they\u2019re a bit more poppier or they\u2019re a bit more produced.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n Formed in 2003, McFly<\/a> are completed by singer and guitarist Tom Fletcher, bass player Dougie Poynter and drummer Harry Judd.\n<\/p>\n

\n They have achieved 19 UK top 10 singles including seven number ones, as well as seven top 10 albums including two number ones in Room On The 3rd Floor and Wonderland.\n<\/p>\n

\n McFly\u2019s best-known songs include 5 Colours In Her Hair, All About You and I\u2019ll Be Ok.\n<\/p>\n

\n The announcement comes as Jones fronts pub chain Greene King\u2019s Live At Your Local campaign, which celebrates grassroots music with 1,000 free gigs and live music events across its venues in August and September, allowing music fans to see emerging talent in their local pubs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The record will be the band\u2019s first album since 2023\u2019s Power To Play, with the 40-year-old from Bolton…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":715240,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[96,128,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-715239","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-entertainment","tag-music","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/715239","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=715239"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/715239\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/715240"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=715239"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=715239"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=715239"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
