*****

Australian rockers prove that guitars are back on the radio and they are here to stay!



How does a band be both a band admired by the fangirl types of our society as well a band that speaks the voice of a generation in a lyrically powerful 17 piece album that is similar to the likes of Green Day and All Time Low? Well, Sounds Good Feels Good does a pretty good job of proving that this is in fact possible!

Long gone are the days of She Looks So Perfect and the pop anthems that got them started, for now we have a more mature approach from one of the world's most exciting bands.

The latest addition to 5 Seconds of Summer's discography is revolutionary. It proves that the term "boy band" is only skin deep. It proves that the term "boy band" is given to any band made up of males which has music in the charts. The term "boy band" speaks nothing of the sounds that 5SOS' newest offering to the world of music emanates. What makes a band a band is the ability to write songs that are heartwrenchingly accurate to the trials and tribulations that have all been too real for the band members - which 5SOS have successfully done. Not only have they managed to write songs as lyrically stunning as Broken Home and Invisible, they have mixed these in with fun and energetic songs such as lead single She's Kinda Hot and newest single Hey Everybody! which help establish their name in the charts, helping with their world domination further, therefore creating an album that excels and exceeds all expectations. An album that leaves you with your mouth ajar wondering how on earth four dorky yet ambitious kids from Australia wrote such astounding lyrics to accompany such beautifully composed instrumentals. 

An album that does exactly what it says on the tin - it sounds good and we're all feeling pretty good about it and the direction in which the young rockers are going.
