Flobots

Post by Fairweather Pure »

I gave this band a listen after a friend told me about them. It's really good stuff IMO. They have 1 hit right now, called "handlebars". The rest of the album has left me impressed enough after a single listen to recommend them. They sound like a blend of Eminem, Kanye West, Gorrilaz, Chronic Future, with some Cake and Linkin Park mixed in. All of the album has a great, mellow flow. Good stuff.

Here is the Handlebars video. It also has a feeling of some of the bands I listed above due to the animation.

Yeah, i thought this song was cool when I first saw it. I just thought it had balls, something always lacking in pop music. Good stuff.

Video is cool too.

Even tho i made a thread about these guys when they came out, ill add to this one :P

I bought the CD when it came out, and thoroughly listened to it. There is a song on that album i think that most people need to hear. The way they convey their message is genius, and they need to keep doing it.

Not an actual music video since once doesn't exist, and he is using a lot of wrong pictures to express the songs meaning, but it still works as a good piece together. Give it a watch!
