Poynter plays the bass guitar, provides backing vocals and also has solo vocals in songs such as 'Transylvania', certain versions of 'Baby's Coming Back', certain versions of 'I'll Be Okay', 'Silence is a Scary Sound', and 'Ignorance'. He also, at age 14, wrote the song 'Silence Is A Scary Sound' with some input from previous band mates in Ataiz; the song was debuted on McFly's 2005 arena tour (Wonderland). As well as this, he co-wrote (with Tom Fletcher) 'Transylvania', the double A-side with 'Baby's Coming Back'. This was the band's first single to feature Poynter on lead vocals. More recently, Poynter has solely penned 'Ignorance', the B-side to the single 'The Heart Never Lies'. The song is heavily influenced by Poynter's idols (Blink-182, etc.), which becomes obvious when listening to it; it has been commented several times that the song is 'nothing like' McFly's usual springy, bubble-gum pop tunes, and is perhaps even leaning towards a more post-hardcore/punk sound. Poynter has played bass since "before he can remember", according to one interview; he later specified this age at being, 'about thirteen'. Fellow McFly members Danny Jones and Tom Fletcher recall Poynter as being by far the best technical bassist they auditioned
