They aren’t against are government..They don’t agree with the policies and the war. They want to make the world a better place. Starting with us! The band is Detroit-based Flobots. The band uses a classically trained violinist as well a jazz trumpeter, the bands uses knowledge,not curse words and demoralize women and others with their music. They make and take time carefully making music and letting people know how they are.
This band has been only know for in the underground music scene in Detroit, with the first release of there album, Platypus, in 2005. Fight with Tools was released in 2007, it was so big in the underground scene that it topped the charts in a magazine, Twist and Shout, no longer being published. The first song that was released into mainstream radio was the song “Handlebars”
If you ask me, this song was as if it is a war cry for all who will listen… Take the fact it started off as two friends who leave each other at a corner, both to embark on the great aspects of life. One becomes a great community leader, while the other becomes a money loving CEO of a company. Pretty soon the friends meet up again, but to untimely endings. One dies to a gunshot, while the other from a podium realizing his error.
The bands have catchy tunes, that bring a message of coming together and putting an end to what they call the “overpowering” government… Songs range from “Anne Braden”, a song about a white woman fought to bring racial eqaulity in the South.
would go get this album, if you want to make a difference in the United States this album gives you that boost.
Until Next Time……. Stay Fly
