Editor's note

Flobots: Denver's political hip-hop collective

A Denver collective that blended hip-hop, rock, and folk with direct social commentary.

For their sound, start with 'Handlebars.' For their persistent theme, try 'Fight With Tools.'

They made political music feel immediate and rhythmic, not just academic. 'Handlebars' became their calling card, but tracks like 'Fight With Tools' and 'There's a War Going On For Your Mind' kept the same urgent tone. Their blend of conscious lyrics with rock energy gave their message a different kind of weight.

They formed in Denver as a collective with members like Jamie Laurie and Stephen Brackett. Between 2008 and 2012, they put out three albums: 'Flobots,' 'The Life of the Party,' and 'Noenemies.' Their music consistently addressed political and social issues, sometimes drawing criticism along with praise.
