@Theblob516 because people dont know the difference. Its a viola.... if people need further proof, please see Mackenzies profile from flobots homepage
@KowaiTori It kinda does matter :p The viola doesn't have the E string, but it has the C string, which the violin does not have :p And the sound is much different. And the viola isn't in the treble clef, it's in alto.
I'm not trying to be mean, I thought I'd let you know :)
@DubuWalz Actually the correct term is "no1 gives a shit", who cares if they get the terminology wrong? its an amazing band, she's an amazing violin player, and an amazing vocalist! y dont we all jus agree to disagree and just listen to the music...
@shermen55 no term that abominates the english language so can be correct, nor would that apply even if it were correct. also, why agree to disagree when one argument is quite obviously wrong? it's not a matter of opinion, it's a matter of fact.
It sucks that people ONLY know the lyrics to handlebars. However it strikes a chord with the inquisitive to find more. The ones that do not persue more songs are not ready to hear the full effect of the Flobots. But that is what conversation and encouragement is for. Enlightenment does not happen from a single band, it happens from individuals
seriously! I heard handlebars a few years ago on mtv but never really looked them up. But then my bros friend gave my dad a flobots mix cd then my dad gave it to me, I was really into all of their songs! I especiallly liked one love. Now Im in love with flobots.
I love the name of the album, fight with tools. At first, before I knew it was an organization name, I though it was a reference to the gouv, as their were doing whatever they want without carrying about us. They are tools (aka useless, etc), if you see what I mean.
this band isnt just trying to make music they are trying to get messages thro from their songs, fight with tools is actually an organization filled with normal people doing good things for our earth.
Handlebars is by far one of thier worst songs, but its the only one people know. If people listened to thier other songs they would be much more famous
im sorry but handlebars is one of their most meaningful songs....if u listen to it and i mean really listen, it is the song for revolution. It is their ultimate meaning.

SEND THIS OVER TO 5 VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN UR DONE PRESS F6 AND UR CRUSHES NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS. THIS IS SO SCARY CAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS THIS ACTUALLY WORKS! xx sorry!
Why? so you can feel cool for listening to "underground" music? This is a major label release... It's mainstream. They haven't changed much at all from Platypus to Fight with tools. Nothing wrong with going mainstream, so long as you don't sell out and change completely. Why wouldn't you want to see musicians succeed, and make a living off what they like to do?
you cant confusing getting popular on a wide stage with going mainstream. Using a violin and horns as a hip-hop backdrop is definitely not mainstream. Keep it up, Flobots!
ur right because some ppl dont like rap and the reason is most rap is meaningless but flobots and other bands make meaningful rap music that i would listen to.
The difference is like rap is more hip hop and more quick rhymes and not always rhymes, but rhyming is like poetry like slow, rhyming almost everything.... except for some poetry.
thats just unfair... shes hot she can sing like an angel and she can play violin... Not cool man...
