5 Seconds of Summer will release an “On the Record” documentary with Apple Music on June 11th. You can see the full press release below.

Ahead of the release of their third studio album Youngblood, 5 Seconds of Summer (5SOS), go “On the Record” with Apple Music to give fans the true story behind the music: “We wanted to set a tone for a new direction…a complete clean slate and start again. We needed to take that risk to move forward.”
Following 5SOS’ five-plus years of recording and touring behind its first two albums – both of which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 – the band decamped across the hemisphere to Los Angeles to find a new set of collaborators, influences, and inspirations. Through candid interviews and behind-the-scenes footage, this exclusive film takes a close look at the band’s return with Youngblood, an album that takes bold risks with big sounds. The film will be available for fans on June 11 only on Apple Music.

To celebrate, 5SOS is playing a special one-night-only show for their New York fans on Friday, June 15. Fans can sign up HERE to be a guest at the band’s performance and join the guys for an exclusive screening of the short film. Youngblood will be available on Apple Music June 15 via Capitol Records.
