now normally I'm not a fan of TBA threads , however, and this still makes me laugh for some reason (probably because we went through a plethora of them a while ago), Flobots have a single release scheduled for week of February 1
According to FMQB though the single is TBA...or maybe Flobots are board members and thought it would be funny to release a song called TBA! Anyways after the success of Handlebars, which was one of my faves of '08, I'm looking forward to this release
We have a name now!

I'm eager to hear whatever their new stuff sounds like, but I'm really wondering if they'll just be a one hit wonder from "Handlebars" or reclaim success. "Handlebars" doesn't get much recurrent airplay (or at least they don't ever on my station), so I wonder how many average radio listeners will remember the band unless they heard the song. I wouldn't say "Rise" bombed," but only peaking at #33 compared to #3 with "Handlebars" was quite a disappointment.

So stoked. I loved the last album. They're so unique. Combat, Rise, Handlebars, Stand Up, We Are Winning. All amazing tracks

Loved Handlebars, but was disappointed by the remainder of the album. Anyways I hope they can avoid the one-hit wonder tag

Title of the lead single confirmed to be "White Flag Warrior". And It's featuring Tim McIlrath from Rise Against. Politically based lyrics with a punk edge Is what I'm expecting here.

I'm eager to hear what this sounds like. Sounds like it has a lot of potential, on paper at least.

Hopefully this will sound better than "Handlebars".

I'm jacked to hear this now, you can't argue that this at the very least sounds intriguing. We just have to actually hear the song now

This song is pretty good, maybe not as good as Handlebars but still sounds like an Alt top 20 at the very least. McIlrath does the chorus and it's pretty sick.

All in all I believe if this song is a hit, and I think it very well could be, it'll be because of McIlrath and not the Flobots. Tim McIlrath's parts are what really stand out and make this a great track. Overall though I'm glad it sounds this good because I did not want them to be one-hit wonders.

Is there somewhere anyone knows of where I can hear an album version of this song? My station hasn't started playing it yet and I can't seem to find it anywhere.

The live version of this song made me think I wouldn't like this, but this is pretty good. I definitely like this better than anything off their last record other than "Handlebars", but I don't think it's going to match "Handlebars" for me.

I was happy to hear my secondary Alt station had already picked this up, as I rarely get to be somewhere I can get their signal. Unfortunately, the song ended and went right into Rise Against's "Savior." Come on, now.

Haha I agree that's odd, my pop station did that by playing Taylor Swift's "Fifteen" immediately after "Two Is Better Than One" with no commercial or commentary. Anyways I'm glad this is doing so well. It's tied with Weezer for the biggest bullet inside the top 40

His location says Portugal, and this hasn't been released to the Portuguese store.
