The main reason to talk about Flobots – Fight With Tools (2008) is it has become the number 3 hottest album at Yahoo! Music! So I feel I can’t keep silent anymore, I should share this album with you guys.
First, let’s learn a little more about Flobots. According to Wikipedia:
Flobots are an American hip hop group from Denver, Colorado, formed in 2000 by Jamie Laurie, who has been the only constant member. To date, they have released three albums (counting Onomatopoeia) and one EP. Flobots found mainstream success with its major label debut Fight with Tools (2007), featuring the single “Handlebars”, which became a popular hit on Modern Rock radio in April 2008.
Though the official name of the band is Flobots, they are often referred to as The Flobots, sometimes even by the band members themselves.
Now head to their hottest album Fight With Tools.

Fight with Tools is the second full album (counting the 2001 independently released Onomatopoeia) by Flobots released in October 2007 and re-released on May 20, 2008. It features the single “Handlebars”, which became a popular hit on Modern Rock radio the following April. In the week of June 7, 2008 the album jumped on the Billboard 200 chart 168 places and peaked at #15.
What the artist said about their album? Let’s take a look:
2007 was a good year for the Flobots. We played Red Rocks, sold out our CD release show, charted on CMJ, and even had our album listed in Rolling Stone Magazine. Four days before the year ended, we were voted first place in the KTCL Hometown for the Holidays contest. As 2007 closed, we wondered if there was any way 2008 could top it. “In only two months, the answer seems to be pretty clear. On January 26th, Denver’s KTCL put “Handlebars” in regular rotation. In the weeks following, Fight With Tools began outselling major national acts at local record stores. Word of mouth spread to California and attracted the attention of The Agency Group, who quickly added us to their roster of national hip-hop groups and punk bands. Durin
