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.

The papercut Chronicles was one of the best hip-hop albums ever. The Quilt sucks, and there are, like, four numbers on which there are no other artists than GCH.

My favorite video from them so far is is Cookie Jar (http://rockthevote.com/yoozur/index.html#/artistprofile-Gym%20Class%20Heroes)...unfortunately Cupid's Chokehold was definitely overplayed.

GCH is the shit my fav band was expecting more out of the quilt though it sounds way too commercial the other three albums if you count for the kids were more raw which is a good thing.
