5SOS record Green Day tribute for Kerrang! magazine

Australian hitmakers 5 Seconds Of Summer have recorded a special tribute cover of a Green Day song for an upcoming edition of rock magazine, Kerrang!.

The band's drummer, Ashton Irwin, posted a message to his 2 million fans earlier today (May 29) that expressed his excitement about the project: "Can not wait for you all to hear our Green Day tribute @KerrangMagazine x."

Back in April, Irwin admitted that listening to Green Day's 'Bullet In A Bible' album sparked the desire within him to pursue music as a career

"My favourite recording in history. Helped me discover what I wanted to do in life... Rock out and entertain people!"

The magazine's editor, James McMahon, shared a picture with his Twitter followers to promote the exciting compilation CD (shown above left) and it confirms that along with 5SOS's Green Day cover, other bands such as Falling In Reverse, You Me At Six, and Frank Iero of My Chemical Romance fame are also involved. 

The CD will be made available with the June 11 issue of Kerrang!. Watch the band performing on 'The Late Late Show' below:
