Family Force 5
I would like to know how many of you people out there listen to this band. Personaly, I don't like their style, I'm more of a Bon Jovi person.
I also would like to know why people consider them a "Christian" band? I haven't seen anything about them that's Christian. Of course I've only seen the love addict song, so ya.

Well, come on. You can't judge their style and spiritual content by one song. Like, their first CD is rather different from their second.JJJJ wrote:I also would like to know why people consider them a "Christian" band? I haven't seen anything about them that's Christian.

As for being "christian," all of the band members are Christians. And yes, they do write goofy dance/party music. But that's ok. And they also write Jesus music. "Face Down," "Peachy," "D-I-E 4 Y-O-U," "Radiator," etc.. though I'll admit that sometimes you do have to know the stories and intentions behind the songs.
But yeah, I love Family Force 5. Their style and energy and vocals and craziness and all the guys in the band. In general, they are one of my favorites.
Didn't we have some fun, though? Remember when the platform was sliding into the fire pit and I said, 'goodbye.' And you were like, 'no, wait.' And then I was all, 'we pretended we were going to murder you.' That was great...
I love FF5. And they all definitely are Christians. But just because you're a Christian doesn't mean you have to perform explicitly Christian music all the time. Not every artist is called to be a straight up worship leader like Chris Tomlin, etc. And bands like Family Force 5 can have more of a positive impact on non-Christians than worship leaders because they speak the same language. If bands like that live their lives in a way that's pleasing to the Lord, then they're being a "Christian band" by their example.

Lol. FF5 is like metal/rock/punk/crunk/rap/hip-hop/techno/dance. They're cool. My favorite song is Replace Me. For those wondering how "Christian" they are, Replace Me is a very Christian song.

I don't really care if FF5 is a Christian band or not. I was just wondering why people say they are.
Yes indeed, I'd rather just have rock by itself without all the others .FF5 is like metal/rock/punk/crunk/rap/hip-hop/techno/dance.

Eh the only song I ever heard by then was on the tribute CD of DC Talk stuff... I forget what song they did off the top of my head. I wasn't overly impressed by it but I may like their other stuff better if I ever listen to it.

FAMILY FORCE 5!!!!!
*coughs* I'm good.
Yes, they are Christian. You have to go behind the songs, to interviews on Jesus Freak Hideout, to concert reviews where they take the time (in a more club-ish area) to share about their faith and how it is the base of their music, etc. They use the rest of their songs as a way to reach the rest of the teenage world. Kids will hear songs like "Kountry Gentleman", say "This is cool!", and then learn more, like what makes them (FF5) tick.
Oh, and the more "Christian" songs, as you peoples say that I know of are...(there might be more...)
Replace Me, Radiator, Supersonic, Love Addict, Never Let Me Go, I Love You To Death, How in the World, D-I-E 4 Y-O-U(itsa martyr song!), Face Down, Dance or Die, Fever(catching a fever from the Holy Spirit), and Wake the Dead(waking up dead music, politics, and spirituality.)
"Love Addict" is one of their better songs.
What I've got in my soul gives me the highest delight. Yeah, it's better than drugs; in fact it's sent from above!
Ok, so their music videos are very disturbing. Oh well. They're entitled to having some fun, even if their idea of fun is kinda screwy.
Oh, and for those that didn't know, Soul Glow Activator got married and has a son named Cash! I don't know when he got married, but Cash is about 17-20 months. He married the girl with the brown hair and thick head-band from the Love Addict music video. Go Soli!
EDIT: Haha. Whoops... completely forgot about them! Poor guys. Well, they don't scream, so it's not my fault.

Really Real Shows are the best!
And they did Mind's Eye by DC Talk.

That was a cover of Mind's Eye. It wasn't that good compared to their normal stuff.The Top Crusader wrote:Eh the only song I ever heard by then was on the tribute CD of DC Talk stuff...

All you have to do is find ridiculously tight jeans, huge sunglasses, a shiny jacket, a couple of hulk fists, maybe a headband... and wear copious amounts of hair gel.Frank wrote:I love FF5.

But yeah, FF5 is alright. Don't really listen to 'em much though.
