5SOS (5sauce) are an Australian pop rock/pop punk band. Founded in 2011, it consists of members Luke Hemmings, born July 16th, 1996 (lead vocals/guitar) Calum Hood, born January 25th, 1996 (vocals/bass guitar) Michael Clifford, born November 20th, 1995 (lead guitar/vocals) and Ashton Irwin, born July 7th, 1994 (drummer/vocals). Commenly called a boy band although not one under any form of dictionary. (According to the Oxford dictionary, a boy band is a /vocal focused/ pop group made up of late teen/early twenties attractive males appealing to a young female audience, 5SOS' appeal was strictly coincidental) They have released one studio album and one live album respectfully named '5 Seconds Of Summer' and 'LiveSOS'. Another studio album is set for release October 23rd, 2015 named 'Sounds Good Feels Good', already number 1 in over 50 countries on pre-orders alone. Their fanbase is a dedicated one called the 5SOS Fam, Fam being short for Family. The band has started a revolution in the music industry named The New Broken Scene, created to make everybody feel like they belong. The bands biggest inspirations are other bands such as Green Day, All Time Low, Good Charlotte, Fall Out Boy, Boys Like Girls, etc.

Get the 5 Seconds Of Summer mug.
5 seconds of summer are an australian pop band who gained success at a young age because they posted mediocre videos of themselves on youtube and toured with one direction. they gained popularity at first because girls thought they were cute and could be a new boyband. they got world famous quickly because of the fans and attention that one direction brought on to them.
don't worry if you're going to be the next 5 seconds of summer, you'll still make a lot of money.

Just another boy band for teen girls to drool over. They got famous after touring with another boy band, One Direction.

To claim this is not a boy band because "they play instruments" is just a way for their "fans" to justify their infatuation with another group of attractive boys.

The real reason for the band's popularity lies in their ability to be good looking and create generic pop hooks. Just like every boy band, ever.
OMG 5SOS! They play instruments!! No band has ever done that before!!!!!!!!!

5 seconds of summer? More like 5 seconds of suck.

An amazing band that ARE NOT a boy band although they consist of only four boys/men. The band is made up of Luke Hemmings who plays the guitar and is the lead vocalist, Calum Hood who plays bass and sings, Michael Clifford who plays guitar and sings and Ashton Irwin the drummer and singer. The boys are often shipped together, e.g Malum, and Muke. Many fanfictions of 5 Seconds of Summer can be found on Wattpad and online. 5 Seconds of Summer is called 5SOS for short, and god forbid if you say five es oh es, that is shameful and you will immediately be labelled as a fake fan. Calum Hood is oftenley mistook for being Asian but I can assure you he is not, and making that fatal mistake of saying he is or spelling his name with two l's is social suicide.
"Omg 5 Seconds of Summer is my fav band and I love Calum Hood the Asian one so much!1!1!1!"
