Modern Minds and Pastimes The Click Five (CD)

Beware, The Click Five are addictive! Listen once and you're hooked. The Click Five are no ordinary American rock 'n' roll band. They produce power pop with a style and passion that make them unique.

Four of the five Boston-based band members graduated from the Berklee College of Music, and all five have played music since they were very young.

The smash hit from their latest album, Modern Minds and Pastimes, is Jenny - a catchy number featuring hilarious lyrics about a boy who is confused by the changeable moods of a fussy girl.

The other song on the album named after a girl, Mary Jane, is a melancholy track, with Spiderman lamenting the loss of his sweetheart. According to vocalist Kyle Patrick, however, the song is intended to be for anyone who is struggling hard in a relationship or for couples who are having misunderstandings.

Addicted to Me, Headlight Disco and Happy Birthday are breezy excursions into poppy rock 'n' roll, while The Reason Why and Empty are haunting soft-rock ballads that tug at the heart.

The Click Five's accomplished sound is lifted to another level by the vibrant vocals.
