Returning to the Flobots

I wrote a couple weeks ago about the Flobots, my deflowering hip hop post.  I’ve been listening to the band’s debut album quite a bit since then.

The song “Same Thing” is by far my favorite, not only for its political message but its interspersed angry beats, rhythm, and melody (don’t mind the “Yo Joe” line either).  I hope my neighbors like it as well.

Are we ready to make change?

“Same Thing” by the Flobots.

    Finally had a chance to listen. I love the instrumentation (horns, heavy bass rhythm, subtle guitar plucking, and a steady drum beat). This really reminds me of a simliar act (though not as political). I’d name them right now, but I’ll post about them instead. I think you’ll like them.

    By the way, did you ever get into Rage Against the Machine?
