5SOS's Ashton: 'Our fans feel like they know us because they do'

Australian pop-punk band 5 Seconds Of Summer have an incredibly strong fanbase and part of the reason that they've reached so many people is because they're very authentic and honest about their lives. 

Ashton Irwin opened up about 5SOS being so relatable in a new interview with Billboard and confessed that the connection they have with their fans is so genuine because they're all going through the same things in their lives and are open about their struggles:

"The fans feel like they know us because they do. We're here together in 2015, and we're experiencing the same issues."

The drummer also spoke about their background and confessed that the place they grew up, a suburb of Sydney, wasn't ideal: "Our culture is working class, like f**king violent. You can't afford s**t. You take public transport, you buy $5 McDonald's meals. It's just epic, depressed suburbia."
