The Australian pop rock band 5 Seconds of Summer (5SOS) has not won an award yet so getting nominated for the 2015 Teen Choice Awards in not just one but three categories really had lead vocalist Luke Hemmings both shocked and excited.
It is the first time for Luke Hemmings and company to be considered for the awards so the official Twitter account of the band asked their supporters to make themselves count by voting for the awards, notes Fashion & Style.
5SOS is nominated for Choice Music Group – Male, Choice Song: Group, and Fashion Choice Male Hottie.
The Australian rock band got nominated for Choice Music Group – Male along with One Direction who actually gave them a break to superstardom, Maroon 5, OneRepublic, Imagine Dragons and Fall Out Boy.

The 2015 Teen Choice Awards will be aired live on Fox on August 16.
Performing even if ill
Late last month, it was reported that Luke Hemmings had a bout with laryngitis while 5SOS was in the midst of their European concert.
But the illness did not stop Luke Hemmings from performing well with his group during the Paris leg of their concert tour on May 22.
Despite being diagnosed with the mild disease before the night of their concert in Paris, France, Luke Hemmings powered through to give great live performances, much to the delight of the cheering French crowd.
The 18-year-old vocalist looks fine but he did take a rest after 5 SOS performed at the BBC Radio 1 gig the following day. The band even shared a photo of Luke on stage on its Twitter account during the Paris concert with his bandmate Ashton Irwin. He looks fine and energized while he was performing as if he is not suffering at all from laryngitis.
Hemmings later on confirmed that he was diagnosed by a French doctor earlier in the day that he had laryngitis. He was eating chicken alphabet soup during the morning of their Paris concert night in the hopes of feeling better. Obviously he was already feeling better during their concert and it was quite evident with his superb and gallant performance.
Who’s the more popular boy band
5 Seconds of Summer has been on tour since May 4, making stops all over Europe. Their Paris leg of their European concert tour was on May 22.
The rock group then took part in the BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend Saturday in Norwich, England. Eventually, the 5SOS vocalist admitted after the weekend gig that he was already feeling under the weather, which he said via his Twitter account.
I love these guys sooo much i hope they win every award they totally deserve it! <3
