That's Entertainment : 5 Seconds of Summer


I should be happy.  

Summer is just around the corner.

But...

I’m conflicted.

Like really confused.  And angry.

Why?

Here I was, sitting in the car, minding my own business, humming along to a pop-punk song playing on SWR FM and trying to figure out which snot nose pop-punk band like Blink 182 had released this slab of pop-punk confectionary.

I missed the call out from the DJ, so I ended up emailing them for their playlist, which got emailed back to me a few days later.

Imagine my surprise and possibly disgust at finding out it was 5 Seconds of Summer.  A tiddlywinks band!!!  Argh!!!

I got over it.

Then imagine my surprise - 5 Seconds of Summer have actually released it as a CD single through JB Hi Fi.  Yep!  I bought my first CD single since 2009 and it was 5 Seconds of Summer.

I want to curl up in the shower in the foetal position and cleanse myself.

After some hysterics, and uploading the track to my I-tunes, I have to say that for a bunch of Aussie lads, this is a really really infectious ear worm that has you humming and shaking your head in no time.  And for very good reason, it’s airing on every radio station multiple times a day.  The tiddlywinks will love it.

So there you go.  They often say never judge a book by it’s cover.  Well, I have.  I haven’t dared go sniffing out any of their other stuff.  But She’s Kinda Hot by 5 Seconds of Summer is a winner.  It should go to Number 1.  And it’s co-written by the Madden brothers.

Oh dear.

I’m so conflicted.  I hope the feeling lasts say...five seconds.  

Oh, and summer…it’s still just around the corner.  I think it’ll be kinda hot.
