After selling 10,000 copies of its debut EP on the road as opener for disposable pop chanteuse Ashlee Simpson, Boston's The Click Five bring forth its own recipe of hookified pop with Greetings From Imrie House. Claiming to draw from Cheap Trick and Matthew Sweet, a listen to the band's song cycle actually finds them closer to a hybrid of slick popsters The Calling and the much more credible Fountains of Wayne. Once learning that the band's first single "Just the Girl" was penned by the latter's Adam Schlesinger who also wrote the album's other hitcontender, "I'll Take My Chances it all makes sense. Although this suitclad group has a radioready, '80sinspired sound thanks to producer Mike Deneen (Fountains of Wayne, Aimee Mann) that also recalls the Cars', much in part to guitar assistance in the studio from that band's axemaster Elliott Easton, the band still feels far more disposable than The Knack did back in 1979. That's not to say strong, punchy rockers like "Pop Princess" won't reap them instant acclaim.
