Gym Class Heroes

Gym Class Heroes was officially formed in 1997 and initially consisted of MC Travis McCoy and drummer Matt McGinley. The friends practiced their technique at numerous friendships, clubs and festivals, but the real birth of the ensemble took place in 2001, when guitarist Milo Bonacci and bassist Ryan Giese joined the group. The guys became famous for their participation in the Warped Tour - a series of concerts in North America, combined with competitions in extreme sports. Popular in these youth circles, the mix of hip-hop, rock and R&B performed by Gym Class Heroes has been noticed by a number of producers, notably Patrick Stump and Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy. Pete produced The Papercut Chronicles (2005) and signed the musicians to his label Decaydance - but the lineup changed during the work on the album - Disashi Lumumba-Kasongo became guitarist, and Eric Roberts replaced bassist.
