5 Seconds of Summer, Australia’s sensational punk-pop artists, are bringing their signature sounds to Paradise Rock Club!
The band (commonly abbreviated as 5SOS) was formed in 2011 in Sydney and is composed of Luke Hemmings (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Michael Clifford (guitar, live keyboard, vocals), Calum Hood (bass guitar, vocals), and Ashton Irwin (drums, keyboard, vocals). Luke, Michael, and Calum started out performing covers of popular songs and posting them on Luke’s YouTube channel. Ashton joined them later to complete the line-up and they started to attract the attention of major music labels and publishers. They got a record deal with Sony ATV Music Publishing and despite having no promotion besides Facebook and Twitter, their debut EP (Unplugged) hit #3 on the Australian iTunes chart and made it into the Top 20 in New Zealand and Sweden. They had a breakthrough when One Direction member Louis Tomlinson posted a link to their song Gotta Get Out, and said he’s been a fan of theirs. It eventually led to them touring with One Direction on their Take Me Home Tour in 2013. They’ve released 2 studio albums, 7 EPs, 7 singles, and 10 music videos.
