Business Up Front/Party in the Back (CD - 2006)

Family Force 5: Solomon Olds (vocals, guitar, piano, Wurlitzer organ, synthesizer); Joshua "Fatty" Olds (vocals, bass guitar); Jacob Olds (vocals, drums); Derek "Chap Stique" Mount (guitar); Nathan Currin (turntables).

Proving that, even as late as 2006, there's still a little life left in the genre of rap-metal, Atlanta's Family Force 5 keep the jokes and the grooves in steady supply on their major label debut, BUSINESS UP FRONT PARTY IN BACK. Featuring three siblings (the Olds brothers: Solomon, Joshua, and Jacob) on vocals and the majority of instrumentation, the album they've made is a non-stop barrage of fretless funk, stiffened by metallic guitars and bolstered with turntablism, samples, and an earthy sense of humor that comes across on appropriately titled tracks like "X-Girlfriend" and "Drama Queen." minimize
