Gym Class Heroes are an American band from Geneva, New York. The group formed when Travis “Schleprok” McCoy met drummer Matt McGinley and decided to make a band.
Onloq.com, an online entertainment network, was interested and later did a video tour blog with Gym Class Heroes on Riding Shotgun, their video tour blog show.
After hearing the song “Taxi Driver”, Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy invited the band to one of his shows. Travis later said that Stump’s support, coupled with the label’s touring ethics and family atmosphere, led the band to signing with Decaydance/Fueled by Ramen.[2] Gym Class Heroes appeared on the Warped Tour in the summer of 2005 and 2006. During the tour, the band held a contest for fans to “pimp out” their myspace pages “gym class” style. The band has also been confirmed for the entire 2008 Vans Warped Tour.
The bands music is also featured on the EA Sports game Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2008.
Gym Class Heroes performed at Cornell University during its 2008 Slope Day celebration.
