I haven't heard their cd, but since they are from where I live, I stumble across their live shows every once in a while. It's a pretty good time, lots of energy, and having a whole band for the music helps the hip hop a lot.

Besides, the violinist is hot.

Just picked this up on sale for 7.99 and liking it so far. I haven't made it through the whole CD yet, but at 7.99 I am happy with it. I hated Handlebars the first time I heard it, but it really grew on me.

Their cover of Happy Together.

I'm confused. Some punctuation/capitalization would be very helpful for us who like to seek out new bands.

Is the name of the band "Flobots On Democracy Now"? "Flobots"? "Flobots On Democracy"?

They played "handlebars". Is that the name of a song? Or the what instrument the band plays?

Thanks.

Flobots is the name of the group. I believe there was an event called Democracy Now where they performed. Handlebars is the name of their current single which is the first youtube video posted on here.

I just picked this up and have made it through twice. I like it. Some of the lyrics are a bit "preachy" but I like their sound.

Democracy Now is a left leaning radio show and podcast Flobots happen to be on one day. Everything else Innocentfreak said is right on.
