It’s no easy feat to hit a 10-year anniversary; it’s quite the milestone that most bands dream of, and to be able to sustain a successful career throughout is even more of an achievement. However, it’s felt like a walk in the park with 5 Seconds Of Summer, who have continually kept us on our toes and evolved their sound, progressing as musicians while intrinsically remaining the same. As they hit a decade of being a band, they celebrate with a captivating new single, 2011, which looks back at years past and melancholically ruminates on the way we dwell upon past regrets. Despite the weight of the lyrics, it doesn’t feel like a track that weighs you down as the upbeat accompaniment drives you forward with adrenaline and upbeat motivation.

Speaking more about the single, the band shares:

This year we’re celebrating 10 years of 5 Seconds Of Summer. Single-handedly the best 10 years of our lives. So to honor every experience, lesson and person we’ve encountered we decided to make The 5 Seconds Of Summer show. Something that captures the pursuit of creation, the love of the relationship we have with our fans and the endless boundary of what it means to be in a band. Above all else, we were once again rediscovering how beautiful it is to be able to share our story together. Alongside that, we will release a song called ‘2011’ which is an homage to the past, and a nod to what we have in store for the future. We’ve loved every minute of being in this band. Here’s to another ten years of 5 Seconds Of Summer.
