Video Interview

Fueled By Ramen signing Gym Class Heroes are currently on tour over here in the UK, contactmusic.com took the chance to catch up with Travis, Lead vocalist for a chat before their recent show at the Cockpit in Leeds.

Rightly recognized as true pioneers of live hip-hop, the Geneva, NY-based band Gym Class Heroes has won popular and critical acclaim for kicking out genre-busting jams that seamlessly meld rap, rock, R&B, and anything else that happens to strike the musically voracious outfit’s fancy. Frontman Travis McCoy states “The whole fun element of hip-hop has disappeared. Everybody takes themselves so seriously, it’s become a fashion show more or less. We want the vibe to be as fun as possible.”
