The band, 5 Seconds of Summer is an Australian "punk rock" boy band was first discovered on YouTube. The four-piece is from Western Sydney, and Calum Hood, Luke Hemmings and Michael Clifford were all school chums before stumbling on a music career in early 2011. Drummer Ashton Irwin, who the rest of the guys knew through mutual friends, joined later in December 2011, when 5 Seconds of Summer played its first show together. Since then 5 Seconds of Summer's fan base has been growing non-stop. They have recently gone on tour with One Direction as their opening act and the 1D boys have pretty much taken the Australian boy band under their wings.
