Gym Class Heroes chat to I Like Music
ILM: Cupid's Chokehold features Patrick Stump from Fall Out Boy. How did that come about?
TRAVIS: We've been friends now for like four years and we're on the same label as well, so it was just a matter of time before we got together to make music. It came naturally really.
ILM: Who's on your collaboration wish list?
TRAVIS: Right now I'm really into Amy Winehouse, she's amazing. I'd like to work with her.
ILM: Your new album, As Cruel as School Children is out now. Which track was the most fun to lay down in the studio?
TRAVIS: Probably Viva La White Girl, just because it was my first time singing through a whole song. And not rapping, y'know? It took a little bit to loosen up and not be so embarrassed and shy. I have this weird thing where I get really timid about singing, but in the shower I'm Darryl Hall, y'know. So I need to get over that.
ILM: You guys are known as true pioneers of live hip-hop, seamlessly melding rap, rock, R&B and bring the fun element back into hip hop. Do you find you start writing a track with a hip hop beat with rap lyrics and then add the rock and rnb flava later, or does it all flow together from the outset?

simon f baker: ilikemusic because... you can transcend the confines of the material world with it, it's probably better than shagging in fact. There is virtually nothing more satisfying than when a load of chords and words suddenly come together into a song ; suddenly everything in life seems to fit and make sense once more.
