Per a press release, here’s what 5 Seconds Of Summer drummer and vocalist Ashton Irwin has to say about the fascinating cultural influence of the new video:
“There are many wonderful, interesting, and captivating subcultures all over the world. In every corner of this earth there are groups of inventors, visionaries, thrill seekers, and boundary pushers. These wonderful worlds that people have created, spread, and effect everyone that comes into contact with them. The Japanese Rockabilly culture is that of a renaissance and a beautiful flare of passion for everything old and new and that makes this particular subculture so interesting and amazing to us. We hope you enjoy this video. Thank you for allowing us to be explorative with the concepts we choose to visually express our songs to you. Thank you to everyone that brought this video to life.”
While we were already treated to an alternate video version for “Youngblood” featuring live performance footage of the popular quartet, it looks like the group have decided today’s the day for the official vid, as told by 5SOS’ Michael Clifford.
“[S]ince we’re in Japan,” he tweeted, “our official video for Youngblood is finally out. watch this with an open mind and I promise you won’t be disappointed.” Check out the video, see Clifford’s tweet, and scope the band’s tour dates after the clip:
