Family Force 5 started off as a band from Atlanta, GA, blending hip-hop/rap with southern rock. The band consisted of three brothers, Solomon “Soul Glow Activatur” Olds (lead vocals), twins Jacob “Crouton” Olds (vocals & drums) and Joshua “Fatty” Olds (vocals & bass), and their two friends Derek “Chap Stique” Mount (lead guitar), and Nathan “Nadaddy” Currin (keys & synths). The band with the original crew released 4 studio albums, 2 remix projects, and 2 EPs.

In 2013, Soul Glow Activatur announced that he’d be leaving the band to pursue other projects. This left the band without a lead singer, until Crouton decided to leave the drum set and become the frontman, being replaced by Teddy “Hollywood” Boldt. The new line-up landed the band with a record deal with Curb|Word Entertainment and released Time Stands Still, which was a more dance-pop, funk album.

Around 2017, the band tried to release their album Audiotorium, but their record label would not work with them to publish it, causing unnecessary drama. Shortly after their The Label-Won’t-Let-Us-Put-Out-The-Album-Yet, Let’s-Play-The-Whole-Thing-Live-For-You-Before-Its-Out Tour, Derek Mount announced that he’d be leaving Family Force 5 to pursue his instrumental projects. Not long after, Nathan Currin was no longer on the roster for reasons unknown. The Olds twins and Teddy Boldt decided to rebrand their music as FF5 as a new era for the band. Shortly after the rebrand, Boldt decided to leave to be the drummer of for KING & COUNTRY, leaving the twins to take lead.
