5 Seconds of Summer

This is 5 Seconds of Summer. They are a band from Australia. I has the opportunity to see them perform live at a One Direction concert last July. This was before they were famous so I was able to get them to wave to me! 5 Seconds of Summer is made up of four band members that also sing. These members are Calum hood (bass guitar), Ashton Irwin (Drums), Micheal Clifford (Lead guitar), and Luke Hemmings (support guitar). The nick name for 5 Seconds of Summer is 5Sos and they call their fans “melons”. I am a melon. They started out as a garage band in Australia and recorded a few of their own songs, eventually building a country –wide following. 5Sos filmed a few of their own music videos as well. This caught the attention of One Direction’s management team who then requested 5sos to be the opening band for One Driection on the “Take Me Home” tour of 2013-2014. 5sos became popular at this time with their song “Heartbreak Girl”. Other songs they they performed in their opening act include “Beside You”, “What I Like About You”, and “Outta My Limit”. The group became famous enough to gain their own record deal and have now released their official debut album. This album includes the current hit songs “She Looks So Perfect” and “Amnesia”. 5sos is an amazingly talented group they you may be interested in listening to.
