Maverick Records sign hot new US band Family Force 5.

A BIDDING war amongst all the major labels took place recently to sign new American Christian rock band Family Force 5. The band have now signed with Madonna's Maverick Records, with Gotee handling the Christian marketplace. The nucleus of Family Force 5 are three brothers, Jacob, Joshua and Solomon Olds, sons of veteran CCM performer Jerome Olds. In 1995 Jacob, Joshua and Solomon released an album 'R.P.M.' on Star Song Records under the name The Brothers.

I saw Family Force 5 perform at the Alive Fetsival last week and they blew me away. Great songs, and an even better live show! I guess their debut album is due to be released in Fall of 2005.
