Career

2011–2012: Origin and debut

5 Seconds of Summer began in 2011 when Luke Hemmings, Michael Clifford, and Calum Hood, who all attended Norwest Christian College, started posting videos of themselves performing covers of popular songs together on Hemmings' YouTube channel. Hemmings' first video, a cover of Mike Posner's "Please Don't Go", was posted on 3 February in 2011. Their cover of Chris Brown's "Next to You" received over 600,000 hits.[3] In December 2011, they were joined by drummer Ashton Irwin,[4] and the four-man lineup was completed.[5]

The band attracted interest from major music labels and publishers and signed a publishing deal with Sony/ATV Music Publishing.[6] Despite having no promotion apart from on Facebook and Twitter,[6] their first music release, an EP entitled Unplugged, reached number 3 on the iTunes chart in Australia[6] and the Top 20 in both New Zealand and Sweden.

Their international following significantly increased when One Direction member Louis Tomlinson posted the link to the YouTube video of their song "Gotta Get Out", stating that he had been a fan of 5 Seconds of Summer "for a while".

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 songs ("Beside You" and "Unpredictable") that were featured on their second EP Somewhere New.[7] The EP was also co-produced by Chapman.

5 Seconds of Summer released their first single "Out of My Limit" on 19 November 2012, whose video clip received over 100,000 views within the first 24 hours.[8] The band were once again the subject of interest for One Direction when Niall Horan posted a tweet of the link to 5SOS’ first single "Out of My Limit".

In December 2012, the band embarked on a songwriting trip to London where they wrote with various artists including McFly,[9] Roy Stride of Scouting for Girls, Nick Hodgson of Kaiser Chiefs,[10] Jamie Scott,[11] Jake Gosling, Steve Robson and James Bourne of Busted.[12]

2013–2014: 5 Seconds of Summer and LiveSOS

On 14 February 2013, it was announced that 5 Seconds of Summer would support One Direction on their worldwide Take Me Home Tour.[13] The tour kicked off at the O2 Arena in London on 23 February 2013, and 5 Seconds of Summer joined One Direction for shows in the UK, US, Australia and New Zealand, including seven shows at Allphones Arena in 5 Seconds of Summer's home town of Sydney.[14]

While 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. It was around this time when the band began to gain popularity and become more well-known.[15]

On 21 November 2013, the band announced that they had signed to Capitol Records.[16] On 5 February 2014, 5 Seconds of Summer listed their debut major label single "She Looks So Perfect" for pre-order on the iTunes Store.

On 5 March 2014, it was announced that 5 Seconds of Summer would join One Direction again, supporting them on their Where We Are Tour in the US, Canada, UK and Europe.[17]

In late March 2014, their single "She Looks So Perfect" was released in UK. Despite spending only one day on top in the British iTunes store and ending its week in the lower end of the top 10, 5 Seconds of Summer became the fourth Australian band to have a UK number-one single, and the first to do so in 14 years.[18] On 9 April, their third EP She Looks So Perfect debuted at number 2 on the Billboard 200 Chart.[19]

On 9 May, they released their second single, "Don't Stop". It debuted at number 2 on the UK Singles Chart, 3,000 units behind Ella Henderson's "Ghost".[20] It peaked at number one in 4 countries and was in the top 10 of 8 countries overall. Billboard said that, "In the vein of Green Day's "She" and Blink-182's "All The Small Things," "Don't Stop" is 5SOS' bid for a deceptively charming pop-punk anthem, with lyrics that are stickily sweet in their awkward flirtatiousness. The bridge could be more polished, but that hook is a highlight of the whole album."[21] On 15 June, the band released their fourth EP Don't Stop which was not available to purchase in the US, Canada and Mexico.[22]

On 13 May, the band announced that their debut self-titled album would be released on 27 June 2014 in Europe and Australia, with other releases coming later. The album won a Kerrang! award; Luke Hemmings said it was a real honour to win one, as all the band's idols are in Kerrang!.[23] The album debuted on the top of the Billboard 200 Chart, peaked at number one in 13 countries, and peaked in the Top 10 of 26 countries.

On 15 July, the band released their third single, "Amnesia", which was the only song not written by the band members themselves, but by Benji and Joel Madden of Good Charlotte, an American pop punk band. Billboard said of the track that, "With a surprisingly affecting vocal performance and the most searing lyrics on the album, new single "Amnesia" establishes itself as 5 Seconds of Summer's successful Serious Pose. Taking older listeners back to the relative heartache of dissolving high school romance, "Amnesia" demonstrates the versatility of 5SOS, and one wonders why it's buried at the end of the group's debut album."[21] On 5 September, they released their fifth EP Amnesia which was not available in US and Mexico.[24]

On 12 October, the band released their fourth single, "Good Girls", and the music video logged over two million views within 48 hours, making it their highest debut to date.[25] On 16 November, they released their sixth EP Good Girls which topped the UK iTunes Chart.[26]

The band released a cover song "What I Like About You" by American rock band The Romantics as the first single from their live album LIVESOS.[27] The band released their first live album, LiveSOS, on 15 December 2014.[28]

The group has been called a boy band in the media,[74] partly due to having a fanbase of mainly young women.[75] Members of the group said that they are not a boy band,[76] with Irwin comparing the band's fanbase to Fall Out Boy which also has a sizable female fanbase. John Feldmann, frontman of Goldfinger and producer on 5 Seconds of Summer, attributes 5 Seconds of Summer's fanbase to "a fundamental change in the pop punk demo[graphic]", mentioning its gradual shift away from the majorly-male audiences of early 1990s pop punk acts such as Blink-182 and Green Day.[77] Hemmings states that they are a rock band with a boyband fanbase.[78]

The band cited Blink-182, All Time Low, Good Charlotte, Green Day, Nirvana, Mayday Parade, Busted, McFly, A Day to Remember, Boys Like Girls,[79] and My Chemical Romance as their influences.[80][81][82][83] For their second album, they cited All Time Low, The Used, Yellowcard, State Champs, Good Charlotte, INXS, Sugarcult, Green Day, and Mayday Parade as influences.[84] For their third album, the band cited the Gorillaz, The Beatles, and Queen as influences.[78][85]

Hi or Hey Records

On 27 January 2014, the band announced that they would be setting up their own label, Hi or Hey Records.[86] On the label's website, the band stated that aside from releasing all of their music through Hi or Hey Records in conjunction with Capitol Records, they would also be signing a roster of bands and releasing their music via the label.[87] On 24 March 2015, the label signed pop rock band Hey Violet.[88]

Philanthropy and supported causes

On 26 October 2018, 5 Seconds of Summer released their cover of British rock band Queen’s Killer Queen.[89] The single was released before the scheduled premiere of Queen's biopic, "Bohemian Rhapsody". The single is part of a series of covers of Queen's songs that is meant to support the Mercury Phoenix Trust, an organization founded by Queen's bandmembers after Mercury's death that aims to provide support in the fight against HIV/AIDS. Queen's manager, Jim Beach, expressed his gratitude and excitement towards the band for supporting the cause.[90]
