The Click Five's rise to the rarefied atmosphere at the top of the pop charts has been swift. In May 2003, Joe Guese, Ethan Mentzer and Ben Romans were performing at a Berklee School Of Music showcase in Boston organized by professor Jeff Dorenfeld. He introduced them to music industry veteran Wayne Sharp who shared a plan for a chart-topping power pop group with matching suits and a particular appeal to teen girls.

Power pop quintet [T]he Click Five formed in Boston in mid-2003.

After signing Guese, Mentzer, and Romans, Sharp added another Berklee student, drummer Joey Zehr, who recommended childhood friend Eric Dill to fill the band's frontman slot.
