Aussie pop-punk superstars 5 Seconds Of Summer raised their profile significantly by touring in support of One Direction, but they have now revealed that there's no ego between the bands and it was never a popularity contest. 

Speaking to the Rolling Stone recently, frontman Luke Hemmings explained that there wasn't a point where 5SOS felt as though they were stealing away Directioners and instead they were just glad to be reaching new audiences:

"There was definitely a point where more and more people started paying attention to us and got more into our band after seeing us. Especially doing the first tour everywhere and then going on the second one and seeing more fans come out to see us as well as 1D, it was a rewarding to see it pay off."

He added: "Doing all that touring and all that work, you could see it happen. People are wearing your shirts at the show and singing all of your songs even though it's not your show. That was a cool moment. It was progressive and not just one moment where it happened."
