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. ~ Marisa Brown, All Music Guide
