'Motion In The Ocean' is the third album from pop-punk quartet McFly. Produced by The Collective - which features former A lead-singer Jason Perry - and written by the band themselves, the album sees McFly continue to with the trademark sound that has dominated their previous releases, a mix of harmony-laden pop and summery sing-a-long rock. The single 'Star Girl' is also featured.

Packed full of stories of alien girlfriends, teenage mobs and broken hearts, 'Motion In The Ocean' was written by McFly at the start of this year. The band then teamed up with producers Julian Emery and Jason Perry, formerly of the poptastic rock outfit A, at Grouse Lodge Recording Studios in Co. Westmeath in the Irish countryside for two weeks to record the album, which includes their their No. 1 smash hit 'Please Please' and new single 'Star Girl'. 'Motion In The Ocean' is the latest chapter in a career which has already seen the quartet scoring five UK No. 1 singles as well as being the youngest group ever to have a No 1.

UK pop quartet McFly burst on to the chart scene with a fresh twist on the boy band formula, they played their instruments! They wrote their own material! Lead vocalist and chief songwriter Tom Fletcher originally tried out for Busted, but when he was beaten to the position by Charlie Simpson the band's management held further auditions to form a new outfit centred around him. The links between the two bands were cemented when Fletcher contributed material for Busted b-sides, and the two bands toured together in 2003. The invaluable exposure from the tour helped push McFly's debut single, "5 Colours In Her Hair" to the top of the UK singles chart where it was promptly joined by debut full length ROOM ON THE 3RD FLOOR. Follow-up effort, WONDERLAND, matched that achievement and in 2006 they moved into the movies, starring alongside Hollywood starlet Lindsay Lohan in the film JUST MY LUCK.
