5SOS

For the 5SOS FAMILY, WELCOME TO MY BLOG!

The band consists of Luke, Ashton, Calum & Michael (order of the photo). They are band from Sydney, the western suburbs. They are a group of teenage boys whom are doing what they enjoy the most, making music. Some of their biggest inspirations are bands such as Blink 182, All time low, Ed sheeran, Mayday Parade & Boys like girls.The band started in December of 2011. It was originally just Luke doing solo covers, and slowly a band of one became a band of three - Luke, Michael & Calum. They all attended Norwest Christian College together but Not long after, around about Christmas Time, Ashton was asked to join the band as the band’s drummer. 7 months on, the boys are now doing tours, radio shows, meets and greets and who knows what is to come. The boys are currently touring with One direction and have just finished their own tour back here in Australia called the #Pantsdowntour! & at this point in time (Last updated 8th June 2013) They are all Single.

Luke HemmingsLuke is known as the front man but the youngest. He was born on the 16th of July, 1996, is still in school but on tour he does tour tutoring with his mother Liz who is a teacher! which kinda like home schooling, but while you’re on tour. Before the band was known as 5 Seconds of Summer, Luke was covering solos by himself. He plays the guitar and has a strong, and wonderful, voice. He is obsessed with Penguin’s and only wears Black skinny jeans (with a hole in the knee) and vans. You can check out all his videos on his youtube account hemmo1996, Hemmo - Hemmings, you’ll get it eventually. Out of all the boys, Luke is the one that keeps his life private, and does not accept friend requests on facebook. Please respect that. Luke has two brothers (Jack & Ben)
Aleisha is Luke’s ex. they broke up August 2012- for all of you asking

Michael CliffordMichael was born on the 20th of November 1995, one year older than Luke. Some would say he’s the ladies man or the “clown” of the band. You can never keep up with his hair colour, it changes daily-to-weekly. He plays the guitar and harmonises in songs. He likes cheese burgers, no onions or pickles and when no one is around he wears matching track pants and jumpers ;);). To keep his fans on his facebook account humoured he takes lots of selfiessss. His facebook is currently deleted but he does have a private one for old friends and family only. Michael is an only child.
Geordie is one of Michael’s ex-girlfriend’s and yes she did used to co-own this blog with Jess - for all of you asking.

Calum HoodCalum was born on the 25th of January 1996. He plays the bass in 5sos & He gave up his soccer to commit music 24/7. He plays the bass and does vocals. he has voice like sex. Most people think he’s asian, when he’s actually half Scottish and half Kiwi. Also, because he’s the only non-white and non-blonde member in the band, he is also not the rapper. Some may say he’s also the shy one. He has an older sister (Mali-Koa)

Ashton Irwin

Ashton, The only legal one out of the group so far, being born on the 7th July 1994. He’s the oldest member, yet the newest. He’s the drummer and plays a box ;). Ashton is probably the main guy who makes Keek’s and likes to keep all the fans updated on what the band is doing and where they are (sometimes they have no idea themselves). He used to wear glasses (& needs to find them soon before he goes blind) but he lost them :(. He’s a slipknot fan as well, for those who love skipknot. Tonight Alive is one of his favourite bands and he fangirled so hard when they came to one of their gigs in Australia. Ash is about 6ft tall and has said he is one of the shortest band members! He has a younger brother (harry) and sister (Lauren)

“We all came from affluent two parent households, and we couldn’t be angrier about it.”

So how did 5sos even come about do you ask?

Well it all started in 2011 when Luke posted his first video on February 3rd on his youtube account, Hemmo1996 & it all started from there. After a few more covers by just Luke, 2 months later, he then asked his 2 best friends (Michael & Calum) to start a band with him. Their first cover together was I Miss You by Blink 182 posted on June 4th, 2011. On December 4th 2011, Ashton officially became apart of their band and they formed 5 Seconds of Summer. After promoting their music and doing small gigs around Australia in Brisbane, Sydney & Melbourne, and doing twitcam’s and sharing their music like crazy. On september 11, 2012 they announced that they were going to be on their first supporting act tour with Hot Chelle Rae that had lead amazing opportunity to go over to London  after the tour and write some music and with that, they released their first Unplugged EP around the 29th November 2012. & on the 7th of December they released their first official EP, ‘Somewhere New.’
On February 22nd 2013, they posted their first official music video ‘HeartBreak Girl.’ They started touring with One Direction on the 24th Feburary 2013 and did their first live sold-out arena show at the O2 Arena in London. At this point in time they are still on Tour with One direction until October.

Future Plan?

Their future plans include doing their own headline tour in America in 2014. Touring a full tour around Australia in 2014. & Going back over to London to write more music and hopefully produce their album and have it out to buy worldwide on itunes by the end of 2013. + hopefully have a few more music videos out in 2014, stay tuned, big plans are happening xx
