Everyone knows that Ashton Irwin has more common sense than the wise old man of the forest - we wrote an entire article about it for gahd\'s sake - so it comes as no surprise to hear that he\'s been dishing out a dose of cold hard reality, explaining why leaking songs early kinda sucks for artists including 5SOS.

The problem with the internet is that as soon as another time zone gets access to tracks, it\'s tempting to want to get your paws on them ASAP, even if they aren\'t out where you live for another matter of hours/days/weeks. These days there also seems to be a big problem for artists in that it now seems more usual for someone, somewhere to leak tracks onto the internet early, which means they often have to release earlier than intended.

Bearing in mind how much of their heart and soul goes into planning albums, we can see why artists can find this a little frustrating and taking to Twitter, Ash explained why it can be annoying.

"Leaking is bullshit, I hate it," he said. "Artists work hard on songs and want them to be heard at the right time.

"Although it\'s amazing that you wanna listen so early! You feel me!? I\'m sure ya do!"

He added: "We got bigger plans you know lol." [sic]

That seems pretty fair to us and it\'s not all finger wagging from Ash either. As well as going hard on Twitter to celebrate the release of Jet Black Heart AND the new tracks off the SKH EP over here in the UK, he\'s also shared a little teaser about a song he reckons is the best that 5SOS have ever done.

and taking to the World Wide Web, he said: "The girl who cried wolf is the best song I think we\'ve written and recorded so far, I love it!!!"

As if those exclamation marks didn\'t quite get the point across enough, he added: "Hope you do!"

We\'re just going to go ahead and say that there\'s less chance of us disliking it than there is off us deciding to stop listening to music and spend all our free time knitting human sized replicas of Justin Bieber, but there you go.

What do you make of what Ash has to say? Excited to hear the new track? And what about the leaking debate?
