Michael Clifford is ready to level up. Best known as the lead guitarist of 5 Seconds of Summer, Michael officially enters solo territory with Sidequest, his first full-length album, out now via Hopeless Records. The release marks a major turning point—not just in his career, but in how he expresses himself as an artist. No longer part of a group dynamic, Michael is calling the shots, and Sidequest reflects both that freedom and the weight of expectation.
Across 10 genre-blending tracks, Sidequest merges nostalgic pop-punk energy with electronic experimentation, cinematic flourishes, and deeply personal storytelling. Michael digs into themes of identity, mental health, fame, and artistic independence, all while keeping his edge and wit intact.
Here is InMusic’s ranking of all ten tracks from Michael Clifford’s debut album Sidequest.
