Gym Class Heroes

Gym Class Heroes first formed as a band back in 1997, to date the band has released a total of four studio albums and has been signed to the Fueled By Ramen/Decaydance record label since 2004 now. Three studio albums have been released since signing to the label and before that only one album was ever released by the band in the form of the '...For the Kids' release.

The band consists of four members; a vocalist, drummer, bassist, and guitarist also; a pretty standard line-up, but certainly no standard band. Gym Class Heroes plays music in the genre of alternative hip hop; the band does the style well and always the music sounds incredibly professional. In every area the band is highly talented, from the vocals right down to the instrumental side of things; all fits together supremely well and always the music of Gym Class Heroes has much to offer.

Over the years Gym Class Heroes has toured with a number of different bands such as The All-American Rejects, RX Bandits, Plain White T's, and Fall Out Boy; Gym Class Heroes is an incredibly hard working band and always seems to be on the road performing at some venue or another across the world. With the band's 2008 album 'The Quilt' a number of different big name guest appearances were made here; Gym Class Heroes is a band whose popularity is constantly growing and always the band's fan base is getting progressively larger.

In 2007 the band's singer Travis McCoy even collaborated with the world renowned Kelly Rowland to cover the track 'Daylight' for the soundtrack of French film 'Asterix at the Olympic Games'. The track was released in March 2008 and provides further proof that the band's fan base is constantly widening and all the time Gym Class Heroes is becoming more and more successful as a band.

Having now released four studio albums the future looks very bright indeed for the band. Already Gym Class Heroes has achieved a lot and the band shows no signs of slowing down just yet. The career of Gym Class Heroes really took off after the band was signed to the Fueled By Ramen record label, since then the band's feet have scarcely touched the ground and it's been a very busy and highly successful couple of years for the band. Gym Class Heroes has come a very long way in a relatively short space of time; the band may have formed over a decade ago and it's therefore not been an easy road to success, success has now been achieved however and all the hard work has finally paid off as the band now heads off on a huge tour with The Roots and Estelle.

Expect even bigger things of Gym Class Heroes in the future, for this band still has plenty more to offer yet. I believe that we've still not seen the best from Gym Class Heroes and with the band getting better than ever with the release of each and every album; who knows what kind of level of greatness Gym Class Heroes can ultimately achieve.
