Family Force 5

by Marisa Brown
Family Force 5, who once went by the name the Phamily, came together outside Atlanta, GA, in 2004. The Olds brothers (Soloman or "Soul Glow Activatur" and twins Jacob and Joshua, "Crouton" and "Phatty," respectively) plus friends Nathan Currin ("Nadaddy") and Derek Mount ("Chap Stique") make up the band (original guitarist Brad Allen, or "20 Cent," left to play with other Georgia-based groups Everyday Sunday and the Trust), whose "crunk-rock" sound gained them attention from Maverick Records. Their first album, Business Up Front/Party in the Back, was released in 2006.
