Hailing to us from Atlanta, Family Force 5 is one of the few Christian bands that have broken into mainstream music. Mixing techno, hip-hop, crunkcore with elements of hardcore and alternative, they create a sound that is definitely growing in popularity. Proof lies in their 26 million+ plays on MySpace, 70,000 followers on Twitter and multiple sold out shows. They even beat out bands like Blink 182 to win Alternative Press‘ Best Live Band of 2009.
FF5 *live* in Cincinnati, Dec 2009
Four EP’s and four full length albums deep, they continue to make music appealing to Christian music lovers as well a mainstream. In March 2010, FF5 will have a song featured in Disney’s new release of Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland flick.
I had the chance to talk with ChapStick (Derek) and Nadaddy (Nathan) while on their Christmas pageant tour. Check it out!
