December 3rd of 2011, four teenage boys by the names of Calum Hood, Ashton Irwin, Luke Hemmings, and Michael Clifford formed the band we know today as 5 Seconds of Summer. It all started out on YouTube when the group decided to post videos of themselves covering songs by other artists. While, of course, being successful was their dream, 15, 16, and 17-year-olds Calum, Ashton, Luke, and Michael had no idea what would become of their posting.
Louis Tomilson, from the popular boy band One Direction, discovered the group of boys online, and that discovery ended up being the start of their career. 5SOS went on to open for 1D on tour, gaining recognition and popularity. Since then, the group has gone on to release 4 albums of their own and even toured a few times as the main act. Needless to say, 5 Seconds of Summer has been on a steady incline since its debut, and they’re not finished yet!
In December of 2021, 5 Seconds of Summer celebrated its 10 year anniversary as a band. To honor such a big accomplishment, they released, “The 5sos Show”, a series of recorded podcasts by the band. In the show, they featured live performances, intel from the boys about what it's been like to be in the band, and tons of comedy skits. The best part? They posted this podcast on YouTube so it would be free and easily accessible for all members of the 5SOSFam. As if all of that wasn’t exciting enough, the band finished off their anniversary week by releasing a song. “2011” was dropped on December 3rd, 2021, exactly 10 years from the day 5sos was born. Not only was the release meaningful for both the band and the fandom, but it was also the first song they’ve released since March 27th, 2020.
After something so big and exciting for 5SOS and the fandom, you might be wondering, what could possibly come next? Lucky for us, these 4 men are dedicated to what they do. Between their “No Shame” World Tour finally being able to happen this year, and the new album they’re going to release, any fans of 5 Seconds of Summer have a lot to look forward to. In the meantime, the band has kept fueling the fandom on social media, especially Twitter. Alternate versions of songs and music videos, as well as the band retweeting and responding to fans, have kept everyone on their toes in the best way possible. So, whether you’re new to the fandom, have been here for a while, or even don’t know them at all, give “The 5SOS Show” and “2011” some streams to say Happy Anniversary! Happy 10 years of 5SOS!
