A Detriot-born band which uses Hip-Hop and Alternative sounds to convey a message of unity and change in America, usually involving activist or liberal causes, such as the anger the band presents towards greed and corruption in their single "Handlebars", or the racial values they express in "Anne Braden". The lyrics in Flobots songs are usually deep and full of meaning, and are often regarded as artistic.
The band uses a platypus as their symbol, their first EP being called "Platypus", and with references to the platypus in many of their songs. (i.e. "The Moon" and "Handlebars")
Flobots also incorporates harmony into their music using the violin. The violinist of Flobots is Mackenzie Roberts.

The new single from Flobots really expresses the problems some people in america have. It's got a wicked beat, too...
