Gym Class Heroes
After growing up in Geneva, NY, the Gym Class Heroes are scaling the ranks of alternative music with a hip-hop style that doesn’t forego the use of live instruments. Signed to Decaydence/Fueled by Ramen (also home to Panic! at the Disco), the band released the album As Cruel As Schoolchildren last summer to rave reviews and national attention. The hit song “Cupid’s Chokehold,” which features Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy, is still in heavy rotation and the group’s popularity shows no sign of easing up. Recent appearances on Late Night with Conan O’Brian and Jimmy Kimmel Live should boost their national profile, too. Gym Class Heroes plays a show at Evolution on Friday (April 13) at 8pm, with support from This Providence and Young Love
