NUMBER 4:
5 Seconds of Summer -abreviated as 5SOS- is an Australian pop-punk band formed in Sidney and consists of Luke Hemmings (lead vocals. guitar), Michael Clifford (guitar, vocals), Calum Hood (bass guitar, vocals) and Ashton Irwin (drums, vocals). They were youtube celebrities, posting videos of themselves covering songs. They toured with One Direction on the Take me Home Tour where they opened their shows.
They cite bands like McFly, Blink182, Green Day and Busted as their influencies.
5SOS became popular when a member of One Direction, Louis Tomlinson, posted the link to their youtube video of their song "Gotta get out" saying that he'd been a fan of 5SOS "for a while". The connection between 5sos and One Direction extends to both artists being managed by London based Modest management. This has led to 5sos being called a boy band in the media. Unlike many boys bands, they write their songs, play their own instruments and they are not a dance group.
They have one studio album, six extended plays, five singles and eight music videos. Also, on 15 December 2014, the band announced their first live slbum, LIVESOS. Now, they're doing new music and launched "She's kida hot", the first single of their second album.
