“The biggest new rock act in the world doesn’t play indie or metal, and it doesn’t have anything to do with Jack White or the Black Keys (at least not yet)….these boys have more guts than some bands twice their age,” said Rolling Stone. In a four-star review, Alternative Press observed, “Sounds Good Feels Good delivers” while People hailed it as “an edgy upgrade” and Kerrang called it “killer,” awarding the album four Ks. The New York Times noted that “She’s Kinda Hot,” the first single, “offers a Bad Brains shout-out, something more truly punk than you’d expect” while Rolling Stone praised the follow-up track, “Hey Everybody!” as “an anthem for the overworked and underpaid.”

The official video for “Hey Everybody!” – directed by Isaac Rentz (Cage The Elephant, Blink 182) – racked up 1.2 million views in the first 24 hours after its release. Views for “She’s Kinda Hot,” also lensed by Rentz, now exceed 20 million. “She’s Kinda Hot,” which won Song of the Summer honors at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards, topped the iTunes charts in 44 countries and was a Top 15 hit at Top 40 radio.Sounds Good Feels Goodwas executive produced by rock veteran John Feldmann (All Time Low, Good Charlotte, Boys Like Girls).

5 Seconds of Summer’s self-titled debut album entered the Billboard 200 at No. 1, selling 260,000 units in the U.S. in its first week of release, marking the biggest debut for a new act in 2014 and the biggest debut ever by an Australian artist.
