Flobots

By ERIN DEWITT

Love it or hate it, when someone mentions "that handlebars song," you know what tune they're talking about. The song has infiltrated radio stations everywhere, starting off as a sweet ode to life's simple pleasures and ending up screaming about the destruction of the planet. The members of Flobots-a band born as a side project three years ago in Denver-are as much social and political revolutionaries as they are musicians. Laden with insurgent in-your-face government/corporate scrutinization, 2007's Fight With Tools propelled the band to nationwide recognition. Layering thick beats over rich classical-music elements brings those angry and assaulting lyrics to a new level of intense. Epic!
