McFly

Alternative rock
Alternative rockPunk rockRap

McFly is a Alternative rock and Punk rock act. Their catalogue also touches Rap. Their sound grew out of The Beatles, The Starting Line, Queen, Taio Cruz and Remember Monday. Those roots explain a lot about how McFly arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Jonas Brothers, Scouting for Girls, The Vamps, Will Young and Take That, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into R5, Aly & AJ, The Click Five, 5 Seconds of Summer and David Archuleta, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 34 connections around McFly, reaching back through The Beatles and forward to R5. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.
