Out of upstate New York has come an
inventive new group that is beginning to
make their mark on the music world.
Instead of the conventional looped
samples and canned beats, Gym Class
Heroes is a 5 piece hip-hop band that
uses live instruments and musicians
instead of looped samples and canned
beats. The band has produced an original
hip-hop sound fusing crisp guitar
rhythms, deep melodic bass lines, head
cracking beats, and conscious lyrics to
create a sound that is truly their own. In
April of 2004, GCH entered a New York
recording studio on a minimal budget.
They returned four days later with a
brand new album entitled The Papercut
Chronicles. Laced with honesty and
sincerity, the record captures the
complexity of Gym Class Heroes as
people, while showcasing phenomenal
song writing abilities way beyond their
age. On tracks like "Make Out Club" and
the CD opener "Papercuts", front man
Schleprok displays a sly and witty
sense and an ability to write
conceptual songs that are as humorous
as they are serious. Sooner than the
album could even be mixed and mastered it
landed in the hands of Pete Wentz, from
Fall Out Boy (Island Records/Fueled By
Ramen Records). Before the group knew
it, they were in talks with
representatives from several record
labels and management companies,
ultimately signing with Florida based
record label, Fueled By Ramen.

The bands current release, "The Papercut
EP" serves as a pre-release to the full
length "The Papercut Chronicles", which
is due to hit stores in February.
