In the movie "Back to the Future", what was the name of Marty McFly's band?

In the movie "Back to the Future," Marty McFly's band is called The Pinheads.

Marty is shown as the group's guitarist and singer in 1985. Early in the film, the band auditions at Hill Valley High School, performing an instrumental version of "The Power of Love." A judge played by Huey Lewis rejects them as being too loud—a joke connecting the fictional band with the real artist behind the song.

The name is easy to confuse with the Starlighters, the group Marty performs with at the 1955 Enchantment Under the Sea dance. The Starlighters are Marvin Berry's band; Marty joins them temporarily after their guitarist is injured. He performs "Johnny B. Goode," imagining it as a future classic, while The Pinheads are Marty's own 1985 band.

The 1985 film was directed by Robert Zemeckis and written by Zemeckis and Bob Gale. Its music jokes deliberately blend fictional bands, real performers, and songs from different decades.
