Since their formation in December 2011, Luke Hemmings, Michael Clifford, Calum Hood and Ashton Irwin have gained a massive following online, released their debut EP and toured with One Direction. Quite impressive for a band who started by uploading covers to YouTube.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">I felt like I was back in high school being surrounded by so many teenage girls. Mothers waited patiently at the back of the bar while their daughters crammed near the stage, vying for the best view. But don\u2019t let their young fan base fool you; 5 Seconds of Summer are more than just cute faces and catchy tunes. They play their own instruments and have a sincerity which is rare to find these days.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">5 Seconds of Summer kicked the night off with the upbeat \u201cLost Boy\u201d and \u201cGreen Light\u201d; unreleased songs from their upcoming debut album. They then launched into a tight cover of \u201cYear 3000\u201d by Busted, a band who has been a major influence on the boys. The raunchy \u201cGood GirlsAre Bad Girls\u201d had fans swooning at their feet.The shared role of lead vocals between guitarist Luke and bassist Calum is refreshing and it doesn\u2019t hurt that the other two members sing every now and then as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">Things slowed down with tracks from their debut EP \u2018Somewhere New\u2019 and fans sang their hearts out to the honest\u201cBeside You\u201d and \u201cGotta Get Out\u201d. A punchy cover of Katy Perry\u2019s \u201cTeenage Dream\u201d got the crowd dancing and\u201cVoodoo Doll\u201d and \u201cHeartbreak Girl\u201d continued the high energy. Being the teenager boys that they are, cheeky comments and witty banter were maintained throughout the night. Judging by the sneaky glances and grins between the boys, they were loving every minute up on stage. They even gave a thoughtful shout out to the all mums in the crowd.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">5 Seconds of Summer were welcomed back to the stage for the encore with ear-splitting screams and cheers. They launched into crowd favourite \u201cOut of My Limit\u201d and the excitement must have been all too much for Calum because he repeated the first verse. But that\u2019s okay because we forgive him. The night ended with the much anticipated \u201cTry Hard\u201d and excitement levels were at their peak.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000;\">Despite half of the set list consisting of unreleased songs this didn\u2019t deter the enthusiastic crowd. They had clearly done their homework and knew every lyric to every song. 5 Seconds of Summer prove they are not just another \u2018boy band\u2019. They are capable of delivering a fun, energetic show packed with cleverly written pop rock tunes. With a dedicated fan base which shows no signs of slowing down, this is just the beginning for 5 Seconds of Summer.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Melina Scarfo&#8230;Sydney pop rock band 5 Seconds of Summer drew a large crowd to the Adelaide UniBar on Thursday night for the fourth date of the \u2018Pants Down Tour\u2019.
