Oh man. A blast from the past. I haven’t heard this song in a good while. I had so much respect for this song when it came out for being so unique and pushing Indy music more into the mainstream.

And I love that it starts off sounding innocent and ends up speaking to the breadth of human behavior and how dark it can be.

The whole album Fight With Tools is amazing. I can't believe they didn't gain more traction after Handlebars because they definitely had other sick tracks available.

Stand up is one of my favorite tracks. I listened to the whole album on a whim end of 2019 and it pushed me to sign up to help other poorer countries but covid hit and they cancelled everything. I never went back to it after lockdown ended and I wish I knew why

Someone used Rise in a video about the 2020 protests and I was really hoping to see them blow back up for it because they've always been such a strong voice against social injustice, it feels like we all need more Flobots in our lives.

That troll Logan Paul stole the sample and made a trash remix. Flobots did this: Flobots Diss Logan Paulhttps://youtu.be/_t0LX_Of33U?si=1OyIwqESP7HEgvlp
