As the colourful-haired guitarist and vocalist of therecord-breaking Australian pop-rock band 5 Seconds ofSummer, Michael Clifford is ready to reintroduce himself with
a monumental solo debut album, SIDEQUEST. It is an odeto human connection for his dedicated fans and anyone elsewho needs to hear it. Michael delivers his career-best vocalperformances on sidequest. Im 12 years into my career, andpeople still havent heard my voice properly, he says. Now, hecan finally let it all out. sidequest defies categorizationmoving from the playful pop-punk and alternative sounds of his
youth to forward-looking peppy synths, glimmery electronicrhythms and asymmetrical arrangements. There are no precisereference points, no unimaginative plays for nostalgia here.

Michael has created a sound all his own, where workingthrough self-doubt feels like euphoria and soul-bearingrevelations are revealed atop power chords, enticing the
listener to dive deeper. Michaels band, 5 Seconds ofSummer, met in high school in 2011, launched a YouTubechannel, and quickly became labeled the biggest new rock actin the world by Rolling Stone with five critically acclaimedstudio albums, including their most recent album whichMichael produced, 5SOS5.

To date, 5SOS is the onlyAustralian band in history to have their first three full-lengthstudio albums enter the Billboard 200 at No. 1. Theyve alsosold over 18 million albums and boast 6 million concert tickets.
