5SOS star: 'I'm loving all the new rock kids with guitars at the moment'

5 Seconds of Summer drummer Ashton Irwin has spoken of his delight at seeing more bands emerge with emphasis on guitar.

The Australians purvey a punk-rock sound and unlike many of their peers, they play instruments.

Speaking on Twitter on Sunday (January 19), Irwin said that he is pleased to see so many guitar bands launching recently.

He said: "Loving all the new rock kids with guitars at the moment!

"So many new exciting bands and people jammin to guitar music again!!!! FCK YEAH."

5 Seconds of Summer meanwhile are due to return to the UK in June as part of their Rock Out With Your Socks Out tour.

The arena run, however, is now sold out.
