5 Seconds of Summer. You guys have hardly been born, and you're already humongous.
-
Hardly born. Foetus band.
-
But can you tell me the story of, I mean, how did you guys meet? How did 5 Seconds of
-
Summer even come about?
-
You want the inside scoop.
-
I want the inside scoop.
-
We all went to the same school together. Ashton wasn't there.
-
I wasn't here yet.
-
And I put some videos of myself up on YouTube, of me playing and singing really badly and foetus-ly.
-
-It wasn't that bad. -You were pretty good.
-
I used to watch your videos before I was in the band.
-
I saw them when he started to get quite popular.
-
You thought I'm going to get on this.
-
I was like woah. I dived in. I dived in. It was a business decision and I said,
-
maybe we should start a band. And then somehow, I don't really know how it happened but Calum
-
got in the band. How did you do that?
-
I don't know.
-
No one officially asked Calum to join.
-
I just assumed because like I was best friends with you.
-
He was just friends with us, so he just assumed he was in the band. Just like yeah guys.
-
I think they were a little too scared to be like you know what Calum...
-
We then booked a gig.
-
We're set. We just need a drummer. And then Michael...
-
-Well we weren't really set, were we? -We weren't set at all.
-
The first time Calum played a bass was on stage for that gig, but we're not there yet.
-
We're not there yet.
-
You have to wait.
-
I messaged Ashton. I said, in this voice, I said: "Hey man. What would you say about
-
playing a gig to 200 people?"
-
And I was like woah. And I was like woah, that's a lot of people. I would love to do
-
that, so I said: "Yes Mr Clifford. I would love to play this show with you." So we played
-
this gig. We played lots of really poorly learned and executed Blink-182 covers and
-
one really bad Adele cover.
-
And what was that?
-
It was Rolling in the Deep.
-
And we played some original songs that Calum had written.
-
And they were kind of cool. That's when I actually was like, man I really want to be in this band.
-
I remember us discussing backstage: "Should we ask Ashton to join?"
-
And I must have been on the toilet at the time because I was usually backstage as well.
-
Yeah, and then Calum literally proposed to him.
-
-He did. There's photos of it, yeah. -That's so romantic.
-
-Yeah, it's pretty cute. -And I said yes.
-
What's the craziest thing a fan has made you?
-
-Made us? -Or kind of done for you?
-
They like to throw plastic boobs at us.
-
-They're more like squishy. -Squishy.
-
-I don't know. What material is that? -I don't know what they're made of, but they throw them at us.
-
They don't hurt. Someone threw a Rubik's Cube at me on stage the other day.
-
-That's such a strange thing to throw. -It was quite pointy.
-
Talk me through your debut single. What is it about?
-
-Well... -It's about a girl.
-
It's about... No, we wrote the song with our friend Jake Sinclair in LA, and he sort of
-
came in with the idea of the chorus. So it's sort of like, she looks so perfect standing
-
there standing in my American Apparel underwear. And he's like bear with us, it's kind of weird...
-
And I was like yeah that's cool. We really like weird lyrics. The song's about having
-
the person there wearing your clothes after you've woken up or whatever, and there's something
-
so sweet about it I guess.
-
-I've got a theory. -Okay. Give us a theory.
-
So I think American Apparel underwear is really ugly.
-
Yeah, they're not the best underwear.
-
So I think if you think a girl looks good in American Apparel underwear, then she's perfect for you.
-
But the thing is. That's the theory, but that's not what we were thinking when we wrote it.
-
That's like the underlying message.
-
-How many times have we been asked this question? -But we didn't know that.
-
-Me and Michael... -We didn't know that. We were just like underwear. Yeah!
-
We thought underwear sounds cool. Let's go with that.
-
But that was actually what we went.
-
I really, really enjoyed your video, and it made me laugh because I thought around a brainstorm
-
session when you're thinking oh what should we do in our video? Hold on a minute.
-
Why don't we just make sure everyone gets naked?
-
That sounds great. Who's down?
-
The director Frank Barnes came to us with the video, and we're like yeah, we love everyone
-
to be naked in our video. That's the ideal first video.
-
As many people.
-
What more could you want from a video? So yeah, we ran with it.
-
And did you choose your models or were they chosen for you?
-
No, they were chosen.
-
No, we wanted like a broad spectrum of people. We didn't want some like just like epic babes
-
to be in the video. We wanted people with beards, people with funny haircuts, like all types of people.
-
So um, moving away from underwear and onto One Direction. And you guys went on tour with
-
them, and you're going on another tour with them. What are they like? Off camera, off
-
stage, hanging out.
-
-The same. -They're pretty much the same as they are.
-
I think that's what we like about them as a band is their characters. They're real people.
-
They were massive supporters of us, like on the tour backstage, they were always like
-
watching us on stage.
-
Yeah, yeah good dudes.
-
Who is up for the most laughs?
-
I think they're all larrikins. I think...
-
-What did you say? -They're pretty comedic dudes.
-
Sometimes I usually can't help but laugh at everything Niall says.
-
Do you know who's an underrated funny guy in 1D? Louis.
-
No, he's not underrated. Everyone knows he's hilarious.
-
Yeah, I find Zayn funny.
-
What's the best piece of advice that they've shared with you, passed on or you just got
-
from working alongside them?
-
Yeah, I mean, I got a load of stuff just from watching from afar, just like how they like treated their...
-
From the bushes. (laughter)
-
But yeah, just how they treat their crew and how they're so professional. It's really crazy.
-
Their work ethic. You have no idea how hard working they are.
-
Say Irish wrist watch.
-
-Say that. -Irish wrist watch.
-
That is difficult. Irish wrist watch.
-
It's really hard.
