5SOS: 'We are so happy that other rock bands show support for us'

'She Looks So Perfect' heartthrobs 5 Seconds Of Summer have revealed that the other musicians that have shown their respect and support means the world to them. 

Bass player Calum Hood told Australia's Daily Telegraph that it's reassuring to know they are respected by industry icons: “We’ve met people who have been in bands for years and they have said things to us like ‘You guys are doing a good job.” That’s cool to us."

Frontman Luke Hemmings went onto add that the rock stars showing them support makes them feel as though they're very much on the right path: “There’s people that just get it. People like Nikki Sixx. He gets the rock pop successful band thing and even bands we grew up with including Fall Out Boy and All Time Low are showing us support.”

The boys also confessed that they want to use their fame to reach fans: "The band got big so quickly off the first album and we went and looked at our own issues individually, the fans’ issues and we said we need to put on our thinking caps and think about what we are singing and expressing."

"We can create a bigger voice than any media outlet, and to people our age, I think we can speak the truth better than anyone else can. That’s where we want to go with this band.”
