Something different eh?

Mix Hip-Hop with a little classical and rock and what do you get? FLOBOOOOOOOOTS.

MySpace.com - FLOBOTS - Denver, Colorado - Hip Hop / Progressive / Classical - www.myspace.com/flobots

YouTube - Flobots - Handlebars

I've been listening to them since last year, but apparently as I learned in school, they've gained some exposure so I thought some of you might know them.

Even if you don't, check em out.

xD I actually quite like them, there is something slightly addictive about them. I have only known about them a couple of months so I am not as of a fan as you xD but I do think they are worth listening to.

<3 The official video for Handlebars is so ****ing sad, that song really hits home.

Pilk · 05/23/08, 03:12 AM

From what I've heard of them already, I like them. ^_^

**Dream Theater** · 05/23/08, 03:55 AM

My friend loves them. And Cursive. lol.

Progressive hip-hop is such a fun genre.

And also, the music video for handlebars is made of delicious and win.

I'm surprised this thread received any replies at all. <3

I like the message.
The video not so much.
YouTube - "Handlebars" by the Flobots
that's the video they made about a year ago.
I like that version of Handlebars best.
Video is wonderfully ghetto though. :D haha

Handlebars is the only reason anyone has heard of them.

My radio stations plays it all the time.

They're pretty good, from the few other songs I've heard.

Cameron · 05/23/08, 03:30 PM

Ehh. The old video lacks the fantastic art style of the new one.

I completely agree, plus IMO it doesn't carry the message quite as well. For sure using kids in the first one gets the whole human potential idea across, but it doesn't have as big of an impact as the new one.

Though I do think the images used in the first one work to great effect.

New video = beautiful though <3

Well, they do seem kind of in rock and hip hop but basically their music has been put in the category of rap and hip hop.

They have released a new CD and it's incredible!! It's called Fight With Tools. If you want to hear their new CD right now go here!

Fight With Tools has been out for forever.

And There's A War Going on for Your Mind is by and far the best song they've done.

shadow15 · 09/07/08, 04:48 PM

Well i'm pretty sure it's been out for a while now but some people still havent heard of it and I was surprised it was never mentioned here anyways. Although it's been out for quite the time i've found it on the hot new releases section in most stores here.

So if anyone's interested they should look it up.

**Lycanthrope** · 09/07/08, 05:26 PM

My 7 year old brother is obsessed with Handlebars. That's really the only Flobots song I know.

I've known about these guys for a while. I'm happy they're getting some major exposure now.

The Rhythm Method would like to speak to you.
Fight with Tools is all around a pretty good album,
love the violin line in Mayday!!!

& they haven't really gotten much exposure here.
kind of a shame.

Handlebars is catchy at an unholy level
