Family Force 5 (often abbreviated FF5, formerly known as The Phamily and The Brothers) is a Christian Rapcore band from Atlanta, Georgia.The three leading members of the band, Solomon, Jacob and Joshua, are all three sons of Jerome Olds, a Christian artist from the late 1980s. Growing up around music, the Olds brothers have been involved in it since a very young age.Family Force 5 uses elements of Rap, Post-hardcore, and club oriented Crunk. The band often cites their own style as Crunk rock. Most songs contain heavy use of synthesizers and simple power chord riffs. Some songs make references to break dancing, the fact that they grew up in Atalanta, and the song Supersonic spells out the word Crunk in the lyrics.

"There's a delicate balance between the intertwining worlds of artistry, entertainment and humor, but for dance-derived rockers Family Force 5, it's an ecstatic equilibrium that remarkably illustrates all three elements. With tongue firmly planted in cheek, the Atlanta-based five-some are just as likely to get the party started as they are to escort audiences into an alternate reality. Even so, the band never compromises album creativity, while simultaneously hearkening back to the days of massive spectacles on tour.
The group's sophomore release, Dance Or Die, oozes with over-the-top illustrations, charging out of the gate with funky rhythms, percolating club grooves, undeniably infectious hooks and instantaneous sing-a-longs. Imagine an inventive evolution of the band's eye-opening debut, Business Up Front, Party in the Back, blended with Prince getting down at a Daft Punk concert where Michael Jackson busts out the moonwalk in the center of the dance floor."
