Since 1993, brother Solomon, Jacob and Joshua Olds have been making music together, first as "The Brothers," then "The Family" followed by "The Phamily and finally as Family Force 5. The siblings practically grew up on stage as the twins Jacob and Joshua were only 12 when they started performing and after 20 years, the elder Solomon, is ready to come off of the road. At 34, he's married with a son and he wants to (understandably) spend more time at home. He won't be far from the band - after all, they still are brothers. He'll also continue co-writing their songs and remixing songs.
Jacob Olds will be moving out from behind the drums and out front to be in the lead singer role. Teddy Boldt, formerly with Wavorly, has joined the band and will be keeping the beat going as the new drummer.
For the past several months, the band has been in Los Angeles, working together and working on music that will go on their 4th studio recording, which they hope to release early next year.
You can catch the new line-up at a handful of concerts they've got scheduled for the remainer of the year.
