If you’ve seen Hot Chelle Rae یا One Direction in concert, then آپ have probably already seen Australian pop rock band 5 سیکنڈ of Summer perform live. This up-and-coming boy band released their She Looks So Perfect EP in March of 2014, which ended up debuting in the number 2 spot on the Billboard 200 charts, right behind the soundtrack for Frozen!
Here are some reasons why we think you’ll soon be swooning over the guys from 5 سیکنڈ of Summer (Luke Hemmings, Michael Clifford, Calum Hood, and Ashton Irwin) - if آپ aren’t already, that is.
1. They have some pretty interesting musical influences
It’s fitting that the boys have opened for a band like Hot Chelle Rae because their musical influences fit right in with that style of music. The boys cite such bands as Blink-182, Mayday Parade, and Boys Like Girls as some of the artists who have had a significant effect on their music.
2. They’re close with each other
According to Michael, who plays گٹار for the band and also provides some of the vocal work, the band would be called “Bromance” if they didn’t already have their name as a celebration of their friendship. They’ve even کہا they “can’t live without” one another. (Interesting side-note: Michael has also been referred to as being the “sassiest” member of the group.)
3. They could save آپ during a zombie attack - well, at least Michael could
The group agrees that Michael is the one آپ would want to stick سے طرف کی during a zombie attack because he’s the “ultimate gamer,” meaning that he would know exactly what to do. Bad news if you’re a Luke fan, though - ڈرمر Ashton has کہا that he would expect Luke to die first during an undead outbreak. What the heck, Michael, آپ wouldn’t use your expert survival skills to save your buddy and the lead singer of your band? Tsk tsk.
4. They love animals - especially dogs
Both Luke and Ashton have dogs. Luke’s dog’s name is Molly, while Ashton’s dog is named Indie.
5. Calum does most of the writing for the group
باس, گھنگھور گٹار player Calum is کہا to be the one who writes the most songs out of everyone else in the group. So if there’s one song in particular that really touches your دل with its lyrics, آپ may just be a Calum پرستار deep down without even knowing it. آپ can always check the liner notes on the album to see who has written which songs.
6. They’re pretty successful for a band that’s just starting out
When tickets go on sale for 5 سیکنڈ of Summer, websites tend to crash from the amount of شائقین who are scrambling to get their seats. The band’s first single, “Out of My Limit,” garnered over 100,000 گیا پڑھا مرتبہ within the first 24 hours of its being گیا کیا پوسٹ to YouTube, and it is now up to about 3.5 million گیا پڑھا مرتبہ at the time of this printing.
7. They appreciate their fans
This one’s a biggie and a must-have for every artist. The biggest turn-off is when a band doesn’t appreciate their fans. The guys of 5 سیکنڈ of Summer have کہا that the best part of being in the band is the chance to meet their fans. Sure, some bands may say that to pay lip service to their شائقین and keep them buying their albums, but آپ can see in several ویڈیوز on YouTube the amount of time these guys spend with their fans, hugging, taking pictures, and signing autographs.
8. Michael and Calum’s first کنسرٹ was their own
We can practically hear the “awwws” now. Michael and Calum had never been to a کنسرٹ before they started putting on their own shows as a band. Does opening for a band and then watching that band perform after آپ count toward your total number of concerts? If so, then that number is probably going to change for these boys pretty soon.
9. The guys of One Direction are big شائقین too!
One مزید reason to justify your already cemented love for One Direction: Louis and Niall both tweeted 5 سیکنڈ of Summer’s موسیقی to their many fans, which helped to increase the latter’s مجموعی طور پر popularity on social media.
10. They're the opening act for One Direction's new tour
5SOS will be opening for One Direction's 2014 North American Tour "Where We Are" which starts in Toronto on August 1st! If you're lucky enough to get tickets آپ get to see two amazing bands for the price of one.
Alright Fanpoppers and 5SOSFam, let us know آپ love about 5SOS in the comments.

If One Direction love 'em, why wouldn't you?
