Solomon Olds leaves Family Force 5 to be replaced by brother Jacob
THE FRONTMAN with crunk rockers Family Force 5, Solomon Olds, has stepped down from the band and the group's new lead singer will be Solomon's brother Jacob Olds, formerly the drummer with the group. Coming into the band will be new drummer Teddy Boldt. FF5 is working on their fourth studio album to release in 2014, and Solomon will continue to help co-write with the band as he takes time to be at home pursuing other creative roles. He performed his last show as lead vocalist earlier this month in Shippensburg, Pennsylvania. Read a band statement, "As a family that has played together and prayed together for countless years, we know that our fans expect Family Force 5 to continuously evolve. It is out of respect to that encouraging sentiment that we will be making changes in the line-up of Family Force 5. As of today, Solomon will be coming off the road, and Jacob will be transitioning into the position of lead singer."
