Harry Judd and Dougie Poynter auditioned on the same day. While they were waiting, they talked and became friends. They eventually both made it into the band. Beating the Beatles' record for youngest band to have a 1 debut album, McFly have skyrocketed from small-name to one of the biggest bands in the UK. Sign In. Edit McFly. Showing all 5 items. He was definitely the heartthrob of McFly, giving us 'the boy next door' vibes. He also founded a new band, Ink, in but his time with them was short lived when he went back to McFly full time in In their documentary McFly: All About us, Dougie opened up about his problematic relationship with the anti-anxiety medication Valium, admitting he knew he needed to address his addiction after taking a 'near lethal' dose of the drug.
Valium was a way of just making all that disappear. Harry Judd is still the drummer of McFly, but during their break Harry tried his hand at dancing, winning series nine of Strictly Come Dancing in - the same year his bandmate Dougie took home the Jungle Crown. Winning the series alongside Aliona Vilani might have ignited his love of dance but it was far from the only time Harry flexed his moves on the floor.
Away from performing, Harry is a dedicated family man and dad of three. After struggling to conceive with his wife Izzy — who he met whilst she was working as a violinist during their concert tour — Harry announced that they were welcoming their first child, Lola, with the help of IVF in Danny Jones was the lead vocalist and lead guitarist for McFly.
Known for his long, straight brown hair - with a fringe covering his eyes. Danny remains the lead vocalist and guitarist for the band, but he did go on to having his own solo career. He released his own singles and toured the UK in Their debut album, Room on the 3rd Floor, was released in July and went straight to Number One, as had their debut single, 5 Colours in her Hair.
Their next major moment came when their song, All About You, was selected as the Comic Relief song for , raising huge amounts of money for the charity. After this, the band found more success with their second album, Wonderland, and their third, Motion in the Ocean in August and November Amid winning countless awards and touring, they continued to release albums such as Radio:Active, which was given away for free as a newspaper supplement in July The following year, however, fans were concerned the band may be breaking up when two of its members - Dougie and Harry - took part in TV reality shows.
In a surprise turn of events, the band teamed up with their friends James Bourne and Matt Willis of Busted to form McBusted, a new pop supergroup which went on tour and released its own album. As McBusted was working well, Charlie Simpson, the third member of the band, decided to rejoin despite the odds stacked against this ever happening. The release of a second Greatest Hits album in less than five years might seem a bit excessive for some artists, but riding high on recent various reality show wins, autobiography releases and infamous wedding videos, McFly seem to get away with it.
In their defense, they have released plenty of new material in this interim period; two-thirds of the tracks on newest compilation release 'Memory Lane' do not feature on the previous Hits album, plus there are three entirely new songs from the boys.
There is a great selection of tracks included, a range of favourites along with some slightly lesser known songs, but all spanning the eight year period since their debut was released to present day.
Early singles Five Colours In Her Hair and Obviously hark back to the days when McFly burst onto the scene with their infectious bubblegum pop sound and innocent lyrics. They may not be groundbreaking either lyrically or musically but their tunes are undeniably toe-tapping and great to sing along to. All About You remains one of their stand-out songs, so it's no surprise to see it included on Memory Lane's tracklist. With its string accompaniment, heart-warming lyrics and simple guitar melodies, it's no lie that every girl also wanted to be spun romantically around their kitchen after hearing this track.
Bigger McFly fans will know that from the start, the quartet wanted to include elements of their punk-rock influences such as Blink and Green Day. It may have taken parting ways with their record label to do so, but Lies and One For The Radio gave them the opportunity to demonstrate heavier guitar riffs and lyrics answering back to the musical establishment.
A definite departure from their more recognisable sound, these tracks still fit seamlessly in here amongst the lighter offerings. Tom Fletcher 's wedding speech was probably a little different to the stuttering start-stop effort of the average Groom. The McFly singer married his girlfriend Giovanna Falcone last May, though waited until this week to post a video of his wedding speech, or should that be wedding song?
Yep, you've guessed it, the singer-songwriter who's had seven No. Before launching into the track to the melody of various McFly songs , Tom said, "I don't have any idea how to write a good speech but I do know how to write a song, so I hope this isn't cheating my way out of it too much.
Nevertheless, Fletcher managed to get through it while entertaining his guests, including best friends Harry Judd , Dougie Poynter and Danny Jones. He sang, "Thanks to my best men, you are the best friends, that I know I will ever have, you're more like brothers, sometimes lovers but we won't tell them about that.
We've been together for what feels like forever but I'd do it all again and again, but we're only getting started and I know McFly will never end. Continue reading: Tom Fletcher's Wedding Speech! Which just happens to be coming out a few weeks before Christmas. When reviewing the album of a manufactured band of the 21st century, it's not entirely clear what's to be praised of the band itself.
Commending the writers is often not a praise of the band, nor is 'brilliant production' often easily attributed to the band itself. The only compliment that can be mustered is something along the lines of 'your auto-tuned singing is nice'. And, who do you compare a band like One Direction to? Every Boy Band Ever springs to mind.
Disseminating the different roles at play in a manufactured band is ultimately fruitless, so we'll take 'Take Me Home' as a whole, and simply work out whether or not we like it. As a whole, the answer is, simply, no.
