Gym Class Heroes - The Papercut Chronicles

Emerging from upstate New York come the Gym Class Heroes, a four-piece indie/hip hop band. GCH use live instruments and musicians to create their unique sound (not looped samples and canned beats), fusing crisp guitar rhythms, deep melodic bass lines, head cracking beats, and conscious lyrics.

The band first got it's start during high school in 1997 with MC/singer Travis teaming up with drummer Matt, who was then playing drums with other GCH bandmates, Milo Bonacci and Ryan Geise. Early in the school year both bands ended up playing at a friends party. From then on the four began writing material under the name Gym Class Heroes.

Much of this material would eventually be compiled onto a series of E.P.'s, which sold locally out of backpacks and at shows. In early 2002 the band decided to independently release a full-length album, which they called '...For The Kids'. The album sold online and was the first time the band saw their music get outside of Central New York. The summer after the release Travis was selected from MC's across the country to compete in a Direct Effect MC Battle at the MTV Beach House.
