1. Back in the Beginning
5 Seconds of Summer may be the best possible evidence that teachers’ comments on report cards can make a difference.
Music teacher Adam Day taught Calum Hood, Luke Hemmings and Michael Mikey
Clifford at Norwest Christian College, in the Sydney, Australia, suburb of Riverstone.
I started teaching them music in year 7, and they excelled in all the practical activities of music, but were very quiet and shy and reserved – they were very much closet musos,
he told the Sydney Morning Herald in April 2014.
Day, who played a role in encouraging and mentoring the young musicians, says the three were talented, but they had to be pushed to perform.
I wrote on their reports back then, that it would be good to seek performance opportunities to develop their confidence,
he said.
Despite what appeared to be a serious case of stage fright, the boys – Michael in particular – made no secret of their ambitions.
Michael always said to me, ‘I’m going to be a superstar one day,’
his teacher recalled. I remember him coming off-stage from a performance one evening and he said, ‘Yeah, that’s what I’m going to do. I’m going to be famous one day. Watch out.’
Watch out indeed.
The three Norwest Christian College students joined up with drummer Ashton Irwin and began posting Blink-182, Mayday Parade and Justin Bieber cover songs on YouTube. Initially, only family and friends watched the videos; recognizing talent, they passed the links on to a larger and larger circle. The video that took off was their acoustic take on Chris Brown and Justin Bieber’s Next 2 You,
which has earned 1.5 million views since it was first posted in July 2011.
In November 2011, the manager of Sydney’s Annandale Hotel tracked down 5 Seconds of Summer and sent them a message through their Facebook page. Would they be willing to perform at his hipster venue? You bet.
The guys started rehearsing four times a week and writing their own material. We even practiced in the dark with the lights off,
Mikey told Sydney’s Good Weekend. I know it sounds weird, but it worked.
Only a couple dozen of 5 SOS’s thousands of YouTube fans showed up to that first show, but the guys were undaunted.
They kept singing and posting songs, some more notable than others. One song, though, gets credit for launching 5 SOS into the spotlight. In May 2012, the guys posted a live version of an original song called Gotta Get Out.
Seated on a leather sofa and a couple of wooden stools, they sang:
"And if the earth ends up crumbling down to its knees baby
We just gotta get out
We just gotta get out
Gotta get, gotta get, gotta get out
And if the skyscrapers tumble down and crash around baby
We just gotta get out
We just gotta get out"
Nearly 2.8 million people have seen that music video, but only one of them really mattered. One Direction star Louis Tomlinson tweeted a YouTube link to the track along with the message Been a fan of this band for a while, everyone get behind them.
Many of Tomlinson’s 16.5 million followers saw the tweet and checked out 5 SOS. It was love at first listen.
By June 2012, when they booked
