A biography for Luke Hemmingshasn’t been written yet.
“I could relate to a band from a small town, talking about wanting to get out.”
“You know what, if you play 'She Looks So Perfect' backwards... you just listen to it.”
“I was very lucky to be a part of going to so many different countries and cities and seeing so many different cultures and people, living that lifestyle at such a young age.”
“For a band to make it to four albums is no small feat in itself.”
“I think when we started we were just four dudes from school and we did all the sweaty pub gigs.”
“The thing is, all the lyrics come from us.”
“I think it's really important to have a good team around you. They're the ones that are going to make you go the whole way so you gotta treat them really well.”
“Maybe there will be a point where we'll do separate things, but 5 Seconds of Summer will always be a home for this band.”
“We're all from very un-wealthy families, and we came together more naturally than most bands do.”
“We used to play Jet before we go on stage.”
“AC/DC being such a huge Aussie band is definitely something I carry with me, and it still means a lot with us being from Australia.”
“I've made an effort to spend as little time as possible looking at screens of any type, I don't think humans were meant to have access to every opinion about themselves at their fingertips constantly, both good and bad.”
“I kind of like being in one place for a certain amount of time. That's something I struggle with.”
“I grew up with a lot of Australian rock music. My dad loves AC/DC and INXS was a big one. My mom was more on the softer musical end of the spectrum, so Crowded House and stuff like that. Definitely all of my rock influences are very Australian typical.”
“The first album was written over the course of a couple of year while we were supporting One Direction on tour. It was us trying to figure out exactly who we were as a band.”
“I love being in the band, I love being that person and it's such a beautiful and ridiculous adventure but that has an effect mentally, good and bad, just from being the age we were.”
“Usually if I'm going on a date, I know that the person is good.”
“Even if you're not in a new place every day and not in the music industry, your tastes in music and fashion and everything are going to change drastically between 16 and 21.”
“The New Broken Scene' isn't this big sad thing where everyone is sad. It is a positive thing to me, that's why we called the album 'Sounds Good Feels Good.'”
“There are a lot of people in the industry and stuff who said no we don't want to sign a guitar band, that's not working. But people had faith in us and our vision and got behind us with their heart and soul.”
