The Flobots are a hip-hop band featuring instrumentation uncommon in hip-hop these days, including lead violin, guitar, bass, drum and horns in virtually every track. Second, the Flobots are a hip-hop group deeply rooted in conscious political dialogue. Of the twelve tracks in “Fight With Tools,” there is not one that fails to comment on current events, world history or humanitarian unity.While many political hip-hop acts can come across as preachy, angry or negative, the Flobots do not. Their lyrics, despite the tendency to criticize the powers that be for events such as 9/11, Iraq and Katrina, are optimistic and inspiring, and the presence of the band creates a live show vibe that is celebratory and refreshing.
With plenty of lyrical creativity and dope beats based on true instrumentation the 
Flobots make for an entertaining set of rhythms showing originality and authenticity. Progressive in both style and message, the band's perfect blend of rock, hip-hop, and instrumental genius, makes this an album that you defiantly need to check out.
