“I think it’s so cool and unique that we have a band that everyone could write a full album on their own, and it would sound different, but then if you mush them all together it would make the band!” Hemmings exclaims. As Hemmings explains, while all four of the guys currently live only 15 minutes away from each other in Los Angeles (“It’s pretty adorable actually,” he laughs), they’ve used the pandemic as a chance to recharge and focus on new projects outside of 5SOS. Hemmings’ record follows drummer Ashton Irwin’s debut album Superbloom, which released back in October 2020.

The band members’ solo efforts are a natural extension of their personal and professional development – not to mention the expected result of extended time spent apart.

Not only are all four active songwriters on their own, but they also all contribute to 5 Seconds of Summer’s creative process, sharing writing credits across the band’s catalog of songs. With over 7 billion song streams and 10 million albums sold, the pop rock band have quite literally grown up in the public spotlight – they were 15 years old when they started – evolving as musicians along the way. The four-piece of lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Hemmings, lead guitarist Michael Clifford, bassist Calum Hood, and drummer Ashton Irwin, 5 Seconds of Summer have emerged over the past decade as one of Australia’s most successful musical exports in history. “Obviously, it was under strange circumstances, but I think it more than anything is important that people heard it at a time where they probably needed some music to listen to… It was a bit of a scramble to figure it out, and there were a lot of people who delayed their albums, and we had already waited so long for it!” 5 Seconds of Summer’s fourth album, ‘CALM’, released in March 2020 “I love that album, and I’m glad we put it out,” Hemmings says. Luke Hemmings’ first full-length solo effort (produced by Sammy Witte) arrives a year and a half into the COVID-19 pandemic, and a year and a half after his band 5 Seconds of Summer released their fourth studio album, CALM.
