Family Force 5 to Release Christmas Cover of 'God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman'; Begin Winter Jam 2015 in January

Family Force 5

Family Force 5 is releasing their new Christmas single, "God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman" on November 18.

The song will take the classic Christmas tune, and turn it on its head with some dance-pop, electric rock vibes.

"We were sitting around the studio struggling to find the right sound until Riley (Friesen, producer) grabbed a cheap, velvet Christmas tree costume that was lying in his basement and gave it to Hollywood," said Derek 'Chap Stique' Mount in a press release, "As soon as he put on that ridiculous green suit, the rest of us started cracking up and then blared early 2000's hip-hop through his headphones so he could play along for inspiration. After a few minutes, Hollywood came up with a ghetto, bouncy beat and the track pretty much wrote itself. Once we had the pocket, the remaining parts felt very natural, and very Family Force 5."

The single is dropping two days after they wrap their 28 city "We believe tour" with the Newsboys and 7eventh time Down.

In October, they landed their first Hot AC/CHR No. 1 radio hit, "Let It Be Love" from their critically acclaimed album, Time Stands Still, that shot to the top of multiple album charts when it debuted Aug. 5 from Word Entertainment. Additionally, "BZRK (feat. KB)," the first music video from Time Stands Still, became the No. 1 most-viewed music video at MTV.com.

FF5 recently complete shooting a music video for their song "Sweep the Leg" and will also be on the Winter Jam Tour 2015 for 47 dates beginning on January 2.
