The group was put together by producers Louis Baldonieri and Brian Lukow, and featured five boys from New York (Jesse McCartney, Greg Raposo, Matt Ballinger, Frankie Gallasso, and Chris Trousdale). Baldonieri and Lukow hoped to make an impact on the pop music industry by introducing a group of teenagers to the scene, all of whom had prior stage singing experience.

In early 2002, four of the members and their parents (McCartney, Raposo, Ballinger, and Gallasso) filed suit against Louis Baldonieri and Brian Lukow to revoke their prior approval of their initial production agreement. The New York Supreme Court denied the request. The group officially disbanded, with only Chris Trousdale staying with the production team of Baldonieri and Lukow.
