Gym Class Heroes are an alternative hip hop/Rap Rock band from Geneva, New York. The group formed when Travis "Schleprok" McCoy met drummer Matt McGinley and decided to form a band. They are currently a part of Decaydance and Fueled By Ramen record labels. They've at this point released four CD's including the two most popular, As Cruel as School Children and The Quilt. They've been nominated for numerous awards and won best new artist in 2007 from the MTV Video Music Awards. They're probably best known for their single "Cupids Chokehold" which sampled from "Breakfast in America" by Supertramp. Their video "Cupids Chokehold" features appearances by Katy Perry and Patrick Stump.
Personally I really enjoy this band, especially their older stuff. The Quilt was quite dissapointing to me. The only song I really enjoy off of The Quilt is "Cookie Jar." Some great songs off of their older albums include "Taxi Driver" which mentions many different bands in it and of course "Cupids Chokehold"
