5 Seconds of Summer fifth album

multi-platinum selling pop-rock band 5 Seconds of Summer release their highly anticipated fifth studio album, 5SOS5 – listen HERE. With 5SOS5, the band has ascended to the next level musically. The 19-track album showcases the band's multi-faceted artistry and growth over their 10-year career, highlighting their dynamic pop-punk sound paired with reflective and intimate lyrics, with the majority of the new album written by the band and Michael Clifford leading on production.

Discussing the album, Calum says "5SOS5 has been the most rewarding experience. Birthed in the desert of Joshua Tree the core of the album derived from quieting the mind and allowing the soul of the band to speak. It's a living, breathing thing made up of most beautifully light and dark parts of ourselves. 5SOS5 is the truest representation of 5 seconds of summer."

The release of 5SOS5 includes their brand new single "Bad Omens'' as well as previously released tracks "Blender", "Take My Hand", & "Me, Myself & I", which gave fans an eagerly awaited preview of what to expect from the album. On Vulture's list of most anticipated fall albums, they write: "Early singles 'Complete Mess' and 'Me Myself & I' promise more of the group's signature power-pop sound, while adding a little synth-pop flair."

5SOS5 also includes the band's smash hit "COMPLETE MESS", an anthemic single that took airwaves by storm as the #2 most added at Top 40 US Radio with 100+ stations in the first week. The single was hailed by critics, with Rolling Stone (Australia) writing: "its nascent arrival showcase[es] the group's evolved sound as they balance an expansive vibe with contemporary pop sensibilities … considered compositions and mature sound showcase a new version of 5 Seconds of Summer, but not one that is so far removed from what made them icons in the first place."

In celebration of the release of 5SOS5, 5 Seconds of Summer played an exclusive global livestream "The Feeling of Falling Upwards" last night from the world-famous Royal Albert Hall in London. The band performed a set of reimagined versions of songs from their 11-year catalogue, plus brand-new songs from the new album, accompanied by an orchestra and choir.

The band kicked off their global 2022 Take My Hand World Tour earlier this year to rave reviews and return to their home country Australia at the end of the year, which includes two epic shows on the Sydney Opera House forecourt. Tickets are available now at 5sos.com/tour. 

5SOS5 is the band's first album to be released independently via BMG. The deluxe CD and digital versions of the album include 19 tracks with cassette and vinyl formats also available.
