The Click Five is rock band formed in Boston in mid-2003. Lead guitarist Joe Guese, bassist Ethan Mentzer, and keyboardist Ben Romans were students at the Berklee School of Music when they captured the attention of Svengali manager Wayne Sharp, a longtime jazz promoter whose first attempt at creating a pinup-ready pop combo. Sharp added another Berklee student, drummer Joey Zehr, who recommended childhood friend Eric Dill to fill the band's front man slot, after signing Guese, Mentzer, and Romans.

Click Five began sharpening their chops on the Boston nightclub circuit in the spring of 2004, and cut their first two-song demo session upon receiving their Sharp-issued matching mod-influenced suits and salon-styled haircuts. A four-song tape quickly followed, and within a month the group signed to Lava Records. Soon after touring the U.S. in support of Ashlee Simpson and releasing an EP, Angel to You (Devil to Me), The Click Five's debut LP, Greetings from Imrie House, followed in the summer of 2005 amid a flurry of licensed lunchboxes, trading cards, and hair products. The album was also supported via tour dates in support of the Backstreet Boys. After replacing Dill with singer/guitarist (and fellow Berklee alum) Kyle Patrick, Modern Minds and Pastimes followed in 2007.

OneRepublic is an American pop/rock band formed in Colorado. The group consists of Ryan Tedder as their lead vocalist, guitarist and pianist. Zach Filkins in guitar and vocals, Eddie Fisher in drums, Brent Kutzle in bass, cello and vocal, and Drew Brown in guitar. They drew attention since the release of the hit single, Apologize, which remix is featured on Timbaland’s Timbalands Presents: Shock Value. Apologize is the most legally downloaded song in US digital history with sales of over 4.3 million digital downloads in the US alone. Their debut album was released in the United States on November 20, 2007, with international release dates staggered throughout early 2008.

As of November 1, 2008, Dreaming Out Loud had sold 805,691 copies in the US, with the bands total album sales reaching over 1.5 million worldwide. The band's second single, "Stop and Stare," has also crossed the two million mark in terms of worldwide single sales. Their third single, "Say (All I Need)," has been released in the UK and the US. In September, 2008 the band released their fourth single, "Mercy".

OneRepublic's varied style has made it difficult for the public to place the band in one particular genre of music. Although Ryan describes many of the songs on their album as, 'safe, radio-friendly pop-rock songs with big choruses', they present themselves in the genre of Alternative Rock.

Last September 24, 2008, the band stated during a concert at the London Forum in England, they were working on new material for a new album to be released in the summer of 2009. The band played one of the newly recorded songs titled, "All The Right Moves” which was also stated on 28th September at the Carling Academy in Newcastle.
