The original Gym Class Heroes formed in 1997 when Travis “Schleprok” McCoy and drummer Matt McGinley became friends during physical education class while at high school in Geneva, New York, and joined forces with guitarist Milo Bonacci and bassist Ryan Geise.

The original GCH began playing birthday parties, clubs, and festivals which eventually led to numerous larger venues throughout the northeast, including four years on Warped Tour (2003, 2004, 2006, 2008). During this time, GCH released four self-produced CDs: “Hed Candy” (1999), “Greasy Kids Stuff” (2000), “For the Kids” (2001), “Papercut Chronicles EP” (2004),and “As cruel as School Children”.It was released on July 25, 2006. A second version of the album, released on November 4, 2006 additionally contains the single “Cupid’s Chokehold”.and “The Quilt”(2008)

After the release of “For the Kids”, lead singer Travis McCoy won MTV’s Direct Effect MC Battle and as a prize, he appeared in Styles P’s video “Daddy Get That Cash”.
The current configuration of GCH formed as guitarist Disashi Lumumba-Kasongo joined in late 2004, with bassist Eric Roberts joining in mid 2005.

After hearing the song “Taxi Driver”, Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy invited the band to one of his shows. Gym Class Heroes then went on to join Pete Wentz’s label, Decaydance Records, an imprint of Fueled by Ramen. Travis later said that Stump’s support, coupled with the label’s touring ethos and family atmosphere, led the band to signing with Decaydance/Fueled by Ramen.

These guys are totally underrated, and Travie is one of my favorite emcees of all time. For The Kids and The Papercut Chronicles are some of the finest blends of hip hop and rock that I've ever heard. The Quilt had some pretty good ass songs on it, but it felt more like a studio album then a live band album. Looking forward to some more of that good shit in the future! <-- this, about a million times.

Anyone heard of the band Bamboo Shoots? They won mtvU's Artist of the Year award a couple of years back and just put out their first album. It's really fun and dancey. Check it out!
