We’re still fangirling over the news that 5SOS is releasing their second album, “Sounds Good Feels Good” in October! Pre-orders for the album went up today(8/14) along with the release of a new track, “Fly Away!” We’re also fangirling over the fact that our 5SOS “Rock Out With Your Socks Out” show is (finally) just 3 weeks away! Here are 5 of our favorite 5SOS tracks .
1. “She’s Kinda Hot”
5SOS’s new single is a rock anthem for the generations. We can’t wait to hear this live and ROCK OUT!
2.”Good Girls”
If good girls are bad girls who haven’t been caught, are bad girls good girls who HAVE been caught?
3.”Don’t Stop”
The video for “Don’t Stop” brought out 5SOS’s inner super hero alter-egos but this song makes us feel like dancing like nobody’s around.
4. “Lost Boy” We love the non-cheesy Peter Pan nod in this song!
5. “Social Casualty”
This song all but name drops both Greenday and All Time Low from the lyrics to the music – of course it’s one of our favorites!
It’s here it’s here IT’S HERE!!! 5SOS just announced that their sophomore album, titled “Sounds Good Feels Good,” will be released October 23rd worldwide! Calum, Ashton, Luke, and Mikey have been busy with the “Rock Out With Your Socks Out” Tour this year, and we’re so excited to have new music to rock out to! The band also revealed the track listing for the album, which will available for pre-orders beginning Friday August 14th. When you place your pre-order, you will receive a brand new song, “Fly Away” instantly!

August just started and that means summer vacation is almost over! BUT you can pretend that it’s summer forever with this week’s Friday Five: Vacation Songs! These songs are all sunshine in a song with lyrics that drip summer time feelings like an ice cream cone.
1. Chase Rice – Beach Town Who doesn’t love a beach town – the tourist traps, flip flops and tank tops being standard attire.
2. 5SOS – Permanent Vacation Everyone wishes they were on a permanent vacation – that’s the dream right there!
3. Sam Hunt – Vacation This sums up our feelings about vacation perfectly.
4. The HEYDAZE – Arnold Palmer No matter where you are, close your eyes and blast this song, and you’ll feel like you’re rockin’ an old tee under a palm tree having a good time under the sunshine.
5. Weezer – Island In The Sun We can’t hear this song and not think about being on a beach, especially since it played in the Olsen Twin movie of the same name, literally every 5 minutes.
5SOS just released the music video for their new single, “She’s Kinda Hot,” and we kinda love it. The video follows Ashton, Callum, Luke, and Michael as they build their very own Mad Max-inspired musically driven tank as a beacon of hope for the outcasts and rebels of the neighborhood!

We definitely shattered our record for most concerts attended in a single year in 2014. While we loved each and every show, and it was nearly impossible to narrow it down to 5 favorites, here are the ones that stood out.
1. Hunter Hayes – 24 Hour Road Race – Palace Theatre – Stamford, CT
We ended up seeing Hunter more than any other artist this year – 7 times in total. Impressive, considering on his past tours he came nowhere near NYC so we had no hopes of attending. Hunter, if you’re reading this, please keep coming to New York. We love you. Of all the shows, among them the We Are Not Invisible Tour, Tattoo (Your Name) Tour, Arthur Ashe Kids Day, and so on, the most memorable was definitely the 24 Hour Road Race. True, it was a short concert, but the record-breaking goal gave an added level of excitement, and now we can officially say we were part a Guinness World Record. Oh, but we can’t forget that time he performed “Storm Warning” right in front of us…
2. Austin Mahone – MTV Artist To Watch Tour – Hammerstein Ballroom – New York, NY
We also had a hard time deciding which Austin show to pick, but this show wins since it was Austin’s first big headlining tour. This show earned him his nickname of the “one man boyband,” due to his on point choreography. We don’t have many videos of Austin performing, because it’s literally impossible to not dance along, but we managed to get one at his Mets Post-game concert later in the year.
3. Dan + Shay – Where It All Began Tour – Highline Ballroom – New York, NY
“Where It All Began” is hands down our favorite album of 2014. While we saw Dan + Shay for the first time on the We Are Not Invisible Tour with Hunter Hayes, this was our first time seeing them play with a full band. We were blown away by how passionate and talented they are, and how much they genuinely love performing. Dan + Shay are so much fun to see live (seriously, the entire audience sings every word), and they make it special every time we see them. We can’t wait for their next headlining tour in 2015!
4. 5SOS – Stars, Stripes & Maple Syrup Tour – Best Buy Theater – New York, NY This might get the prize for one of the hottest concerts of 2014. We were shocked when we scored a pair of tickets to this show! It had been such a long time since we went to a “pop punk” show that this finally made us remember why we fell in love. 5SOS have such great energy and they put on an incredible show to the sold out crowd. Calum, Luke, Ashton, and Michael owned the stage and had everyone singing along to every word, even though the band had yet to release their album in the US.
5. The Strypes – Music Hall of Williamsburg – Brooklyn, NY
Whenever we write about The Strypes, we feel like nothing can do justice to how insanely talented and incredible these guys are. All four members hail from Ireland and are under the age of 20, yet they play some serious rhythm and blues. We had never really seen grown men fangirl until this concert. That’s how good these guys are. We were floored by their musicianship, and some absolutely insane harmonica solos.
Bonus: 106.1 BLI’s Summer Jam – Nikon Jones Beach Theater – Wantagh, NY
This gets the runner up place because of it’s awesome lineup: Austin Mahone, Cody Simpson, New Hollow, Midnight Red, AJR, and so on. Summer Jam definitely had something for everyone! The number of acts and the variety contributed to the “festival” feeling of this show, along with bonding with the people sitting around you for the entire day. We hope Summer Jam will be back next year!
We can tell you a couple things we like about 5SOS and this cover is definitely one of them! The band recently performed their version of The Romantics’ song “What I Like About You” on the American Music Awards. The video is from their new concert DVD and album called “LIVESOS!” which will be available on December 15th worldwide, featuring recordings of tracks from venues around the world.
5SOS join the ranks of Poison and Lillix in the list of bands that have covered this song. Lillix’s version appeared on the sountrack to the Lohan remake of “Freaky Friday.”
Watch 5SOS perform “What I Like About You” live at The Forum in Los Angeles.
We’re less than three weeks away from Christmas and while we’re still deciding which boyband member we want to find under our tree this year, we’ve created a list of our favorite presents to give this holiday season. These gift ideas are perfect for the fangirl in your life – even if you gift them to yourself!!
1. Books!
Books are a great keepsake and a fun way to learn even more about your favorite band. 5SOS and Austin Mahone both have new books out, just in time for the Holidays! For the 90s fangirl, we highly recommend “Out Of Sync” by Lance Bass and “NKOTB: 5 Brothers And A Million Sisters.”
2. Band Merch!
Crewneck sweatshirts, and Holiday themed sweaters are especially trendy this year. We love the “Merry Trismas” sweatshirt from The Vamps, and this onesie from Hunter Hayes. A gift that’s in the Holiday spirit, perfectly cheesy, shows off your favorite band, AND keeps you warm? Perfect.
3. Concert Tickets!
You can never go wrong with concert tickets! It just might take some advance planning and sneaking around. Check to see which tours have been announced (Dan + Shay’s 2015 headlining tour goes on sale this week!) and try to be stealth about getting tickets so it’s a surprise. Plus you’ll get an extra gift by the time the concert rolls around!
4. Ear plugs!
When you go to as many shows as we do, ear plugs are essential. We know, you think they look un-cool. You know what’s even less cool? Not being able to hear. Invest in a good reusable pair – they’re more discreet and are designed especially to filter music so you’ll be able to hear everything AND look cool. Promise.
5. Music!
Lots of artists release special editions around the Holidays. We love the “LiveSOS” Bundle that 5SOS put together – it includes posters from each of their 2014 tours.
5SOS announced they are releasing an album of live tracks called “LIVESOS,” due December 15th worldwide. That’s right American fangirls – for once we don’t have to scour the internet patiently wait for a US release date! The 15 songs on the album were recorded in various venues on tour all over the world.
“LIVESOS” will also include both the studio and live versions of “What I Like About You.” Watch the lyric video below!

As the band wrote on their website: “playing live has been something we have been the most passionate about from the beginning. All we want is for our fans to come to the shows, rock out and have one of the best times they’ve ever experienced. Also when a room is full of you guys from all different walks of life, you can let it go when you come to the shows and be free to be yourself.”
