McFly are an English pop rock band consisting of Danny Jones (born March 12, 1986), Dougie Poynter (born November 30, 1987), Tom Fletcher (born July 17, 1985) and Harry Judd (born December 23, 1985). They are signed to the Island Records label and are managed by Prestige Management.
McFly's name was chosen by Tom Fletcher, the band's founding member, based on his love for the American science-fiction film Back to the Future and the character Marty McFly. Fletcher had originally auditioned for Busted, but was rejected. He then met Danny Jones at a pub where he played Richard Ashcroft songs, and the two began writing songs along with James Bourne of Busted. To complete the band, they held auditions at London's Covent Garden for a drummer and a bass player. Coincidentally, Dougie Poynter and Harry Judd both auditioned on the same day. Thus, McFly was formed.
McFly's early sound was a mixture of pop rock, pop punk, and surf rock. Read more about ...
