We say

Flobots are a Denver hip hop band who had a summer breakout hit in the US with this addictive piece of radio rock. This got to No3 on the Billboard Modern Rock chart and peaked at No64 on the Billboard Hot 100. An indicator of its breakout success, it was the No1 song on Los Angeles’ KROQ for more than two months running, the video has been watched just under four million times on YouTube and played 1.4m times on their MySpace. The change in moods on this, both musical and lyrical, make it a perfect radio-friendly rap/rock track – it reminds us of Californian band Cake. Early radio support here has come from Zane Lowe (it was his 'Hottest Record In The World' last week), Ian Camfield on XFM and Paul Gambaccini on R2. Their album 'Fight With Tools' gets a physical release in September. JF
