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."
