Sounds Good Feels Good will always hold a special place in my heart. I remember listening to it for the first time when I was 13, barely a teen trying to make her way through life, not knowing much about the world, the people and the society we live in and there’s still some things I don't understand to this day. This album shed the light, the dark, the good, the bad, the ups and the downs of people and personal struggles. It showed me love and hope and struggles. It let me feel so many emotions on different levels in ways music hasn’t been able to before. 3 years later and I’m still constantly coming back to this album in times of hurt and in times of love. Thank you @5sos for this work of art.

when I close my eyes and try to sleep I fall apart I find it hard to breathe

don’t steal

Andy still making fun of Luke with bodacious

@ashtonirwinofficial5sos speaks the truth @5sos

nothing has ever made me swerve lanes was much as the valentine music video

ok but the fact that 5sos wasn’t even nominated for choice song, album, video and tour for the people’s choice awards is bothering me. Youngblood as a song is lyrically beautiful and sounds amazing. Youngblood as an album is so genuine and pushes the boundaries of music and genre. The Youngblood video tells a beautiful story in a very different setting to what most western countries use and don’t even get me started on the representation of that video. The Meet You There Tour is such a well put together show and everything they do sets the mood for the audience, the band and the music. I am mad. 

But hey at the bottom you can enter a nominee who isn’t listed so I put in Youngblood - 5SOS for the song, video and album and Meet You There Tour - 5SOS for the tour one and it might not work but I’m doing it anyway.

I’ll try and keep it short but you guys mean so much to me I don’t think I’ll ever be able to express it in words. I’ve loved you since your first album and I’ve watched you grow from boys to the amazing men you are today and I’m so incredibly proud of you. The community you build and the message you spread through your music is beautiful and I thank you for that. When I’m in a bad mood your music always makes me feel better and I’m eternally grateful for that. Until next time boys I love you to the end of the universe and back ❤️Also peep Andy crouched at the bottom of Ashton’s drums I love a HQ photographer @ashtonirwinofficial5sos @5sos

anyway 5sos put ghost of you, amnesia, the only reason, lie to me and why won’t you love me in that specific order

right just put all the tear jerkers one after the other

I see how it is boys

you guys wanna flood the stadium

a few things from the 5SOS V7 // BRAZIL & MEXICO

Luke: THE BO BO BO BO BO BO BODACIOUS

y'all they literally went from doing covers to going number 1 three times

Let me tell y'all a lil story

There were 4 young dorks from the suburbs of western Sydney. Their names were Luke Hemmings, Calum Hood, Ashton Irwin and Michael Clifford. They liked to do covers on YouTube. They did stuff from All Time Low (who they wrote got to write a song with), One Direction and many other artists. Then One Direction brought these 4 lanky dudes on tour with them and BOOM they were 4 young dorks with a big music career. They wrote a self titled album with the amazing and legendary John Feldman, a man who has worked with the biggest bands out there like Blink-182, Good Charlotte, All Time Low and many more. They toured the world bringing their music to countless fans. They went back and wrote another mind blowing album with amazing, personal and meaningful music. This was called Sounds Good Feels Good and with it came The New Broken Scene. They toured the world once again. After that they took a lil break cause they haven’t stopped in years. The fans missed them a lot. But hey they came back with this amazing new album with a cool different sound called Youngblood. With the album they brought growth, maturity and a stronger bond with each other. They are touring again and seeing the world together. 

As of today against all odds, Youngblood hit number 1 on the charts making music history. I am immensely proud of how far these 4 Sydney boys have come and I am looking forward to how much farther they will go. 

flashbacks to Michael when he used to dye his hair wear torn up t-shirts and super skinny jeans. theres probably an alternate universe out there where he is an actual emo god and is in a super punk rock band. someone write a fic now.
