Flobots found mainstream success with their major label debut Fight with Tools (2007), featuring the single "Handlebars", which became a popular hit on Modern Rock radio in April 2008.

Together they released Onomatopoeia in 2001 under the alias "Jonny 5 + Yak", and the title track ended up in a compilation by the MIT Songwriting Club at Yahktoe's alma mater.

[1] Flobots entered a contest held by Denver radio station 93.3 (KTCL), called Hometown for the Holidays, which allowed fans to vote for their favorite songs from 35 local bands.

As a result, the station put "Handlebars" into full rotation at the end of January due to the immense popularity of the song during the contest.

[2] In February 2008, Flobots held a show at the Gothic Theatre in Englewood called "The Heart Attack" featuring local bands The Hot IQs and Paper Bird.

It was after this show that the group was approached by and subsequently signed to Universal Republic on a two CD major label deal.

[3] On March 31, the band announced that they would be playing Tucson, Arizona's major alternative rock festival, KFMA Day, with Metallica, Apocalyptica, Chiodos, and Scars on Broadway on May 16.

[4] Flobots were also part of the sixteenth annual KROQ Weenie Roast on May 17, along with Atreyu, Bad Religion, Flogging Molly, Metallica, The Offspring, Pennywise, The Raconteurs, Rise Against, Scars on Broadway and Seether.

On July 20, 2008, Flobots played at the Mile High Music Festival in Commerce City, Colorado with headliners Dave Matthews Band and John Mayer.

[6] Also on May 20, Flobots spent two hours with Dr. Drew and Stryker answering sex questions on Loveline[7] and re-released their album Fight With Tools to a wider audience after their newfound success.

[10] The key single from that album is the song "White Flag Warrior", featuring Tim McIlrath of Rise Against.

[13] In the summer of 2011, lead guitarist Andy "Rok" Guerrero left the group due to "creative differences" and to focus on his previous project, Bop Skizzum.

On September 17, 2011, while performing at the Gallogly Events Center, UCCS, Colorado Springs, the Flobots announced that "they will be releasing an album in 2012 so they might as well name it Stop The Apocalypse."

It was revealed via their official website on June 15, 2012, that the album would not be titled Stop the Apocalypse, but will be called The Circle in the Square and will be released on August 28, 2012.

[15] In 2013 and 2014, The Flobots performed a free concert for high school students in Jefferson County, Colorado for the annual A Day Without Hate rally.

"[18] In 2015 it was announced that they were working on a new music project called Noenemies, which will focus on issues such as climate change and immigration reform.

We started from the streets and used the songs in a community environment; then we took them to the studio.On November 8, 2016, Flobots have released a new track from the upcoming album on their official SoundCloud, "Rattle the Cage".
