When a pair of intelligent, visionary emcees joins forces with a battle-hardened, groove-fusing rhythm section, and a classically trained violist the result is a sound that explores and expands the frontiers of live hip-hop. Progressive in both style and message, the band’s ability to drop from symphonic rock-infused crescendos into stripped-down string-laden breakbeats has earned Flobots a reputation for both originality and authenticity.

Armed with musicianship, intelligence, and an ingrained sense of rebellion, Flobots are looking to engage a new musical culture, one mind at a time.

If you are thinking, you are winning.

    Hi there!

    I found a little fault in the lyrics of the song “Infatuation”: I’m sure “phenylethlamine” should be “phenylethylamine” ;)

    but anyway; GREAT NEW ALBUM!

    so long, moerf :)

    Huge fan! Just saw you have a new album out so i am on my way to buy it now. Fight with Tools has not left my CD player or iPod since I bought it. Wish you were coming to San Diego.

    heya! you guys are really inspiring to me as a fellow musician and as a fellow american. My only only question is what is your overall message to the your listeners? Some of your songs are fairly easy to interpret and some are rather obscure in meaning( Ex. Gazing at the moon)I have to say that your lyrics and unique sound were part of the events that inspired me to pick up a guitar, and the deepness of your lyrics really kinda made me think. What ever you’re trying to do, It’s working. Keep it up!

    I must say, your music has truly inspired me to fight for tolerance, unity, peace, and to learn what is REALLY going on in this world; how to keep the balance in life. As Mahatmas Gandhi said, “We must be the change we wish to see in this world” THANK YOU FLOBOTS!

    You are truly on the front lines of the resistance. I am sure you have attracted the attention the ones who have got us one step from serfhood. Keep up the amazing work and beware of tricks.
    Meg, you ask how can you help? You say it as if being 15 you lack the power to make significant change. You still have the very asset they seek to own,your mind. Spread truth. Learn about the labor movement, details of which have been struck from texas textbooks recently. Learn about the “war” and who is sucking up all that money. Learn about the recent “citizens united”decision. Then when you are ready, kindly let people know the facts you uncovered. Start with friends,family, and always know the facts and the sources. And don’t say it if you dont know the details. Don’t spread rumor, keep it to facts and if you state a factless opinion make sure you let the person know what parts are your feelings and what parts are facts.

    Basically the facts support us, so use them. Those that want to live off our sweats and tears are not supported by fact, so they rely on triggering negative emotional reactions to control us.

    Thanks Flobots, my greatest hope is one day I can spread as much truth as you.

    I love you Flobots so much! I have been listening to both of your albums non-stop for the past week! My goal is to memorize the lyrics to spread to other people! So far, I have Superhero, Handlebars, Never Had It, Combat, Stand Up, Anne Braden, Panacea For The Poison, Same Thing, Mayday!!!, and White Flag Warrior committed to memory. Please, keep up the excellent work, I’m so excited for the next album, thanks for all the inspiration! God Bless!
