Gym Class Heroes
Gym Class Heroes are an American hip hop band from Geneva, New York. The band is composed with lead singer Travis McCoy, drummer Matt McGinley, guitarist Disashi Lumumba-Kasongo and bassist Eric Roberts. Gym Class Heroes initially performed in clubs and participated for two years on the Warped Tour (2003 and 2004).
Their albums so far are "...For the Kids," "Hed Candy," "Greasy Kids Stuff," and "Papercut Chronicles EP".
As Cruel as School Children - Gym Class Heroes
The Roots aren't the only hip-hop group to build their sound around live instrumentation. Yet this Upstate New York quartet doesn't sound much like Philly's finest. Further, As Cruel as School Children is more radio-ready than previous efforts, especially "Cupid's Chokehold," which appropriates Supertramp's "Breakfast in America" to fine effect, i.e. "Take a look at my girlfriend / She's the only one I got." (A different mix appears on The Papercut Chronicles.)
Not many indie-pop artists can freestyle, though, as frontman Travis McCoy proves on "Sloppy Love Jingle, Pts. 1-3," a trio of a cappella raps. Aside from dividing these tracks into "periods," "study halls," and the like, in fitting with the high school theme, McCoy's narratives touch on teachers, cheerleaders, and lunch room chatter.
Guests include William Beckett (The Academy Is...) on "7 Weeks" and Speech (Arrested Development) on "Biter's Block."
Cruel as School Children was co-produced by Patrick Stump (Fall Out Boy) and released by band mate Pete Wentz's Decaydance imprint. Stump, who pops up in the "Cupid" video, also provides programming and backing vocals. - Kathleen C. Fennessy

Gym Class Heroes - The Papercut Chronicles
From Fueled By Ramen records, GCH (Gym Class Heroes) are different from all the other bands on the label. They mix rock / indie music with a hip-hop / rap style, which would seem hard to do, but they do it to perfection. Travis, the lead vocalist, has a really good flow and meaningful lyrics to go along with it. The standout tracks to me would have to be "Papercuts", "Cupids Chokehold", "Faces In the Hall", and "Taxi Driver."

Gym Class Heroes Lyrics Clothes Off I
See here's the thing
We have to take our clothes off
We have to party all night
And we have to take our clothes off
To have a good time
Oh no
Excuse me miss
I couldn't help but to notice how alone you are
I dig the attitude and how you're acting like you own the bar
Got me flashing keys and I don't even own a car
Like you ain't feeling my charm, because I know you are
I'm trying to see how your lips feel
Oh I'm sorry, my name is Travee and I'm pretty much a big deal
Oh, you've never heard of me
That sounds absurd to me
The way you stole my attention was flat out burgulary
What do you say let's exit stage left so me and you can
Possibly reconvene and play some naked peekaboo
Cause after all the blouse you're wearing is kinda see through
And it's obvious I'm heading wherever you're leading me too
Such an angel with a devilish angle
And quite the certified sweet talker
And you're buying every line of it girl
And I don't really blame you
If I was in your shoes I'd probably do the same too
We have to take our clothes off
We have to party all night
And we have to take our clothes off
To have a good time
Oh no
Now here's another bar, I'm coming for the slow learners
Put your helmets on and take a seat on the short bus
Next stop, right around the corner from your momma live
No turning back so you better buckle up
Shit, don't be concerned with mine
I feel like a Speak and Spell way I got you learning my lines
Fine, pull the string, replay that shit
I change my name to "did he really just say that shit?"
Yep
I'll take a mile if you let me
Six-five, two hundred plus and so sexy
My legs going numb from keeping my phone on vibrate
To hide the fact your girlfriend keeps textin' me
And I've been tryin to never mind it man
But every time I get a new number, she finds it damn
And you thought you had it sewn up
Until right around amazing o'clock when I showed up
We have to take our clothes off
We have to party all night
And we have to take our clothes off
To have a good time
Oh no
We have to take our clothes off
We have to party all night
And we have to take our clothes off
To have a good time
Oh no
Excuse me miss
I couldn't help but to notice how alone you are
I dig the attitude and how you're acting like you own the bar
Got me flashing keys and I don't even own a car
Like you ain't feeling my charm, because I know you are
