5SOS: 'Drummer Ashton Irwin was the missing piece of the puzzle'

'She Looks So Perfect' heartthrobs 5 Seconds Of Summer have revealed that creating their band felt right as soon as they recruited drummer Ashton Irwin. 

The band's guitarist Michael Clifford told Billboard that finding Irwin was the turning point where everything felt like it had finally clicked into place:

"He was the missing piece of the puzzle. He kind of drove us -- literally, he drove us, because he was the only one who could drive.”

Irwin went onto add that in their early days, they would use their iPhones to make DIY music videos, which was different to what other people seemed to be doing at the time: 

“Everyone else was doing these really clean-cut, amazing edits of popular covers, and we just had an iPhone. We used to wedge it on the mic stand and start filming. Calum didn’t even have a bass. He played the top string of an acoustic guitar.”
