5 Seconds of Summer (5SOS) are an Australian band that formed in December of 2011. The band consists of Luke Hemmings, Ashton Irwin, Calum Hood, and Michael Clifford. Hemmings, Hood, and Clifford grew up together. They became a band, but still didn't have a drummer. They found Ashton Irwin through mutual friends online and asked him if he would join them for a gig that they booked at the Annandale Hotel. After they performed the gig to a crowd of about 12 people, they knew Ashton Irwin was a good fit for the band. In 2012, Louis Tomlinson from One Direction discovered the boys online. In 2013 and 2014, 5SOS joined One Direction on their Take Me Home and Where We Are tours. Since then they have had two tours of their own and just released tickets for their tour in 2016. They have also released two albums, their self titled debut album and their new album Sounds Good Feels Good.
