5 Seconds Of Summer has been burning up the charts with songs like "She Looks So Perfect," and "Don't Stop," but the Australian boy band might not be that recognizable just yet.

They just released their debut album last week in the U.S., and they thought it would be fun to dress up as Target workers and try to pimp out their latest music venture.

The band posted the video on Friday, and fans got a look as they dressed up in the signature red Target polo and tried to get shoppers, who had no idea who they were, to buy their self-titled album.

Target, which teamed up with 5SOS to bring the retail chain four exclusive tracks and four different album covers, seemed like the perfect place to pull this stunt.

Michael, Luke, Calum, and Ashton ran rampant around the store, sneaking the CD into unsuspecting shoppers carts and baskets, and even giving a stack of albums to one customer.

The band members also stop one customer and try to bribe him to by the album by telling him that he smells pretty good. The man catches on that he's actually been approached by a member of 5 Seconds Of Summer, and asks if the guy on the cover is him, to which the 5SOS member replies, "No that's not me... he's awful."

We wish that the video was longer and included the reactions of the customers when they realized that the band was actually approaching them.
