US5 is a five member Boy Band from Germany, America, and England. The band was assembled on the German reality TV programme Big in America. They are managed by Lou Pearlman, who previously managed boybands Backstreet Boys, 'N Sync and O-Town. Since Lou Pearlman is being sued by the State of Florida and investigated by federal US authorities for a major fraud, there is uncertainty about the band's future. In his last interview with German magazine BRAVO (March 1 issue) Pearlman alleged the case will in no way interfere with the band's career.[1] June 14 2007 Pearlman was caught in Indonesia and will be facing criminal fraud charges.
On October 20, 2006, the first single of the group's second studio album went on sale. The "In the Club" CD has two formats: maxi and single. On November 24, 2006 the album itself, In Control, was released. On June 12, 2007, Lou Pearlman's possessions were auctioned in Orlando Florida, including a US5 gold record CD plaque & tape of their single "MARIA"/ [2]. It was bought by a businesswoman and is now for sale on Ebay.
