I thought The Click Five was destined to bring Power Pop back into the ears of teens. Alas, I was wrong. My younglings already know all about this guy. I, of course, dismissed it as Disney pop...how wrong I was. It's impressive, very tuneful. It's not too slick, either.

Really great pop. Wouldn't it be great is this kid could bring power pop back into the mainstream (and on the radio)? He apparently writes his own stuff...and the notes on his site reference McCartney's "Ram"... Slick? Maybe a little. Tuneful? Yes.
