The Click Five (known also as TC5) was a power pop/pop rock band from Boston, Massachusetts, U.S., best known by fans (called 'Clickers') for their popular 2005 debut album 'Greetings from Imrie House'. Formed in 2003, the group consisted of five members: Joe Guese, Ben Romans, Ethan Mentzer, and Joey Zehr. The guys formed their band while they were all attending Berklee College of Music in Boston, They soon enlisted Eric Dill as the band's lead singer and played in various local venues.They then quickly got the attention of talent scout Wayne Sharp (who had worked with the power pop group Candy).
TC5 made their first recording, a two-song demo session, in early 2004 after successful local touring. They released their debut album, 'Greetings from Imrie House', in 2005. After vocalist Eric Dill left the group, he was replaced by Kyle Patrick, who debuted on their second album, 'Modern Minds and Pastimes', in 2007. Their third album, 'TCV', was released in Asia in 2010 and to the rest of the world in early 2011. The band folded after a decade of performing in 2013.
TC5 were initially known for their power pop songs and for their Mod-based public image, involving sharp-looking suits and ties coupled with moptop haircuts, which were deliberately reminiscent of The Beatles. They've preferred to classify their music as "new school power pop". However, they have also been classified as 'pop punk' and 'teen pop'. They achieved significant commercial success with their first album in the US and their second release met with extreme popularity in Asian countries such as Cambodia and the Philippines. In total, the band has sold two million albums worldwide and have created eight number one singles in seven different nations.
