The Click Five is a power pop band from Boston, Massachusetts. Formed in 2003, the group originally consisted of four members: Joe Guese, Ben Romans, Ethan Mentzer, and Joey Zehr. The original members formed the band whilst attending Berklee College of Music in Boston. They then later enlisted Eric Dill as the band's lead singer. He was currently at Purdue University when called up by his childhood friend, Joey Zehr. Originally known as the Click, they enjoyed success on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart with the song "Just The Girl" (written by Fountains of Wayne's Adam Schlesinger) in 2005. Earlier in 2005, they toured for two months as an opening act for Ashlee Simpson. Later in the year of 2005, they toured with the Backstreet Boys. Afterwards, The Click Five began an autumn 2005 tour with Ryan Cabrera and The Veronicas. They have also performed at J.C. Penney's Rock Your Prom fashion shows. In the autumn of 2006, the band were the the special guests on an arena tour of the UK and Ireland with the pop punk band McFly. On 09 March 2007, the band posted an official annoucement stating that Eric Dill had left the band. His replacement has not yet been announced. On the official website, a competition can be seen allowing fans to guess and pick the face of the new lead singer. It also states their new album is out on June 26th and a sample of a new song can be heard, titled 'Jenny'.
