5 Seconds Of Summer Begin Plotting Their Comeback With Cryptic New Teasers

As of Friday (February 16), it’s been 847 days since Aussie pop-rockers 5 Seconds of Summer released their second album, Sounds Good Feels Good. Frankly, that’s way also long without a new jam like “She’s Kinda Hot” and “She Looks So Perfect” blasting through our speakers, and the wait for fresh tunes has been an agonizing one.


Although fear not, 5SOS Fam! The gentlemen from down under seem to finally be gearing up for album No. 3, if their recent social media activity is any indication. On Thursday night (February 15), the guys shared a monochrome promo pic with the caption, “BEHIND THE SCENES 2018.” Hours later, they tweeted the much more uncensored hashtag #5SOS3ISCOMING, hinting that their legion should be on the lookout for new tunes soon.


On top of that, 5SOS drummer Ashton Irwin posted a heartfelt message to fans in which he expressed his “intense elation and nervousness” for the band’s next chapter.


“Finally, I missed you! We missed you!” He wrote. “It’s time for re-ignition! It’s time to spin around this earth several times in the next few months, playing our new music, old music, and everything in between... To you all.”


He added, “As routinely, I hope you like what is coming, I know my grandma is gonna be all fired up about these new appetizing jams.”


The band’s cryptic yet promising new teasers come right after guitarist Michael Clifford spoke about album No. 3 with Billboard in December. He admitted, “Our fans were pretty pissed off that we didn't give them a update about releasing an album this year because towards the begin of the year, we were pretty positive we'd have an album out by the end of [2017]. With timing, it didn't just be working, however we're certainly gonna have the album out next year.”


Clifford added, “I think once all of the new stuff comes out, it's like a departure of our old sound yet it still keeps elements all the things we admired about it. It was just time for us to change.”
