JUMP5

Here's the Trick to watch videos

Jump5 was an American dance-pop/contemporary Christian group.

The band established themselves in 1999, later signing onto Sparrow Records in 2001.

However, they left the company in 2005 due to creative differences.

The band temporarily recorded independently through self-established Nevaeh Records, and then signed with Slanted Records.

The members officially disbanded on Sunday, December 16, 2007.

They performed their final concert at the Rocketown Center in Nashville, Tennessee, with former member Libby Hodges.

The group originally was named Jump Start, but they later changed it due to restrictions on the name ("JumpStart" is currently a daily comic).

Jump5 launched their very first album in 2001. The band aired on Radio Disney several times and had hit Radio Disney's Top 10 several times. Contrary to the group's name, there were only four members at the time.

Libby Hodges (born April 2, 1987) was part of the original band, but left in early 2004 to go back to a normal life. She did a song with the band for their last album, Hello & Goodbye.

Natasha Noack (born December 23, 1985) was a temporary band member for the Spring in 2004 while filling in for Libby after she left for the Radio Disney Spring Thing Tour that Jump5 went on. In May 2004 after the tour the group mutually decided that it would be best to remain with the four original members, so Natasha left. Natasha is now pursuing a solo career.

The group has toured with Aaron Carter, Play, A*Teens, Baha Men, Zoegirl, No Secrets, Dream Street, Radio Disney Live, as well as two headline tours, and much more.

On October 9, 2007 the band released a final album entitled Hello & Goodbye with Slanted Records, featuring the titular song, Hello, Goodbye, with former Jump5 member Libby Hodges. The group also embarked on a final headlining tour coinciding with the album, which ended in Nashville, Tennessee on December 16, 2007.

The band released a new Christmas album "Christmas Like This" exclusively through major digital outlets on November 20, 2007. The album features songs from the groups 2005 indie release "Rock This Christmas", but all the tracks have been re-recorded and remixed and are completely different than the originals, with the exception of two songs.

Now that the group has officially disbanded, not much has been confirmed about where the members plan to go and what they plan to do. However, it has been reported that siblings Brittany and Brandon Hargest plan to begin their own band and Lesley Moore has hinted at possibly working in the Country music field.
