History-making multiplatinum Australian alt-rock and future punk / pop band 5 Seconds of Summer have released “Boyband,” a new track off their forthcoming album EVERYONE’S A STAR! out November 14th. “Boyband” is an ode to their fans and a playful nod to the label that’s followed them throughout their career. But are they a Boyband, are they a rock band?
“We’ve always been called a boyband and this song is about us owning that narrative and taking the power back.”
