The Click Five

Greetings From Imrie House

The Click Five are just one more in a long line of pop punk bands to get a catchy single on the radio, and that single was just catchy enough to make me want to throw down some of my own hard earned bucks for their CD. Although after listening through all eleven tracks I was left a little disappointed. Not disappointed enough to wish I had bought something else but enough so that I wish I had spent a few bucks less.

The band has five members (as you might get from their name), consisting of lead and rhythm guitars, bass, drums, and keyboards. One thing this band does have going for it is that everyone sings. Other than Eric Dill on lead vocals and rhythm guitar everyone else does backing vocals and they all sound awesome, harmonizing at just the right moments in each song. As for the rest of their sound they pretty much can be taken for your standard pop punk band with much better vocals.

So I would say if bands like The All American Rejects and other similar bands take up the most room on you CD tower then pick it up. If not, then a few years from now pick it out of the bargain bin at Best Buy for a few bucks. The Click Five do have potential and can go somewhere if they can do something to make themselves stand out, but, on the other hand they also have the potential to be this year’s one-hit-wonder and then fade into the background for all time.

3 out of 5 stars
