Who Is 5 Seconds Of Summer?
5 Seconds of Summer is an Australian pop rock band. Formed in Sydney in 2011, the band consists of Luke Hemmings (vocals, guitar), Michael Clifford (guitar, vocals), Calum Hood (bass guitar, vocals) and Ashton Irwin (drums, vocals).

5 Seconds of Summer began in December 2011 when Luke Hemmings, Michael Clifford and Calum Hood, who all attended the same school (Norwest Christian College), joined together and started posting videos of themselves performing covers of popular songs to YouTube. Their cover of Chris Brown and Justin Bieber's "Next to You" received over 600,000 hits. In December 2011, they were joined by drummer Ashton Irwin, and the current 5 Seconds of Summer lineup came to be. They have since amassed over 5 million YouTube views, and a large following on social media sites Twitter and Facebook. The band attracted some keen interest from major music labels and publishers, and have signed a publishing deal with Sony ATV Music Publishing. Despite having had no promotion apart from on Facebook and Twitter, their first music release, an EP entitled Unplugged, reached number 3 on the iTunes chart in Australia, and Top 20 in both New Zealand and Sweden. Their International following increased significantly once again, when One Direction's Louis Tomlinson posted the link to their YouTube video of their song "Gotta Get Out", stating that he'd been a fan of 5 Seconds of Summer "for a while". 5 Seconds of Summer were once again the subject of interest for One Direction following the release of their first single, "Out of My Limit", on 19 November 2012, with Niall Horan tweeting the link to the video clip for it.

5 Seconds of Summer spent the second half of 2012 writing and developing their sound with Christian Lo Russo and Joel Chapman of Australian band Amy Meredith, with whom they wrote two of the songs that feature on the Somewhere New EP - Beside You and Unpredictable. The EP was also co produced by Joel Chapman. 5 Seconds of Summer released their first single "Out of My Limit" on 19 November 2012, the video clip for the song receiving over 100,000 views in the first 24 hours. In December 2012, the boys embarked on a songwriting trip to London, where they have written with various artists including McFly, Roy Stride of Scouting for Girls, Nick Hodgson of Kaiser Chiefs Jamie Scott, Jake Gosling, Steve Robson and James Bourne of Busted.

On 14 February 2013, it was announced that 5 Seconds of Summer would support One Direction on their worldwide Take Me Home tour.

Whilst on a break from the Take Me Home Tour, 5 Seconds of Summer returned home to Australia where they played a National headlining tour, with all dates selling out within minutes. On 21 November 2013, the band announced that they had signed to Capitol Records. 5 Seconds of Summer are currently working on their debut album.
