Spotlight On.. Family Force 5 minus Soul Glow?

Family Force 5, one of the most popular (and rowdy) bands in the Christian music circuit at the moment, announced this morning that they are undertaking a huge lineup change.

Solomon Olds, known to fans as Soul Glow Activator, has announced that he will be stepping down from his role as frontman of the band to spend more time with his family at home.

As a release from the band (via facebook) states:

"Solomon will remain within arms reach, as he takes time to be at home with his wife and son, while also pursuing his creative ambitions of co-writing and remixing.  In addition, he will continue to be a part of FF5’s songwriting team, as we are daily creating new material that could potentially blow up your stereo speakers."

To accomodate this change, the band has declared that drummer Jacob Olds (aka Crouton) will move to fill the frontman position in the band.  Teddy Boldt, former member of bands such as Wavorly and Capital Kings, will fill in on the drums.

The remaining members of the band Nathan Currin (aka Nadaddy), Derek Mount (aka Chap Stique), and Joshua Olds (aka Fatty) will continue to move forward with new music, stating that a new album is already in the works, expected for release in early 2014.

The official announcement from the band looks promising:
