5 Seconds of Summer on Debut Album, 1D Pranks & Fans Sending Male Strippers
In case you missed the news, an Australian pop-punk band's four-song EP just barely missed the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 last week. These upstarts are called 5 Seconds of Summer and the teen quartet sold 143,000 copies of their She Looks So Perfect EP without any major radio support or TV exposure.
It helps that the band found a fan in One Direction's Niall Horan, who saw their covers on YouTube and made them 1D's opener on the Take Me Home tour last year, gaining them legions of fans. But it's not just the 1D connection that's made them so hot: The guys' debut international single "She Looks So Perfect"—boasting the oh-so-catchy hook, "She looks so perfect standing there in my American Apparel underwear"—is an anthemic pop-punk delicacy sure to be the summer jam for Top 40 listeners and beyond.
Plus, the dudes are undeniably adorable. When 5SOS join 1D for this year's Where We Are stadium tour, we think there will be a lot of fans screaming loud for both acts this year.
In the midst of 5 Seconds of Summer's first headlining trek in the States, Fuse chats with bassist/vocalist Calum Hood about their upcoming full-length album, pranking the 1D guys, fans sending them male strippers and much more.
