LONDON -- Australian four-piece 5 Seconds of Summer have sold 3.2 million copies of their debut album managing to bring pop-punk back to the mainstream, but can they play charades? More importantly can they play pop-punk charades?
Mashable met up with Michael, Luke, Ashton and Calum when they were in London recently and got them to test each other out on some of the pop-punk greats -- from Blink-182 to All Time Low -- in 50 Seconds of Charades. (It's not quite 50 seconds, but who cares? More 5SOS.)
Speaking to us about Sounds Good Feels Good, their second full-length album, released globally on Oct. 23 they said they "wanted to make something that would mean a lot to the fans."
"On the first album we were learning the ropes - we still are, of course - but on this album we knew what we wanted and we went for it," Ashton said.
And 'She's Kinda Hot', that song you might have heard everywhere this summer? That provides "the framework for the rest of the album."
"The lyric is ‘we are the kings and queens of the new broken scene’, and that’s being proud of what you are and who you are and where you’re from," Ashton said
"I don’t really think anyone says that to their fans anymore. That’s what it’s about, being confident about who you are and what you are and that’s okay, you know?"
