Today, alternative hip-hop band Flobots celebrate the 10th anniversary of the release of their breakthrough debut album Fight With Tools. Released ten years ago during the frenzy of the 2008 election season, the album defied categorization, weaving conscious hip-hop lyrics and classical viola solos over live instrumentation, their anthems captured attention from all directions. The album featured platinum single, 'Handlebars,' which was the fastest charting song debut by a new artist in a decade, and saw the band grow from playing local clubs to selling out tours internationally, performing on late-night television, signing a major label record deal, and receiving constant rotation on alternative radio. Today, Flobots' original call to envision “another America,” which resonated with a generation experiencing a sense of profound political and social awakening, is just as poignant and timely as ever.
