The brand new Family Force 5 record Dance Or Die hit stores last week and many are talking about the decidedly more dance-y sound the band has approached as opposed to their crunk rock beginnings. Front man Soul Glow Activatur addressed the fans about the new album and the sound change... "Wow, Dance or Die is out in stores now. This is so crazy to me! It's actually in [major stores] unlike our last record that no one could find or buy. We made the decision to put this out on our own and it looks like it is working! This record compared to Business up front/party in the back was just harder to do. I just had the pressure of knowing that we have to top our last record and not alienate all the people that liked our original sound. We decided to go less hip hop and more dance-y with the beats this time around. I think it is working and the record sounds more mature.” More info on the band is available at their website, www.FamilyForce5.com.

And starting September 9th, the 10-song album will be released on the label Razzbarry Records and can be downloaded from the Code of Ethics website for a limited time.
