Mixing rap, rock, R&B, funk, pop and just about anything else, Gym Class Heroes have a sound that is based in hip-hop but explodes with live instrumentation and a zeal for anything that tickles their fancy. The Geneva, N.Y., group s origins lie in, go figure, high school gym class, where frontman Travis McCoy met drummer Matt McGinley. The addition of guitarist Disashi Lumumba-Kasongo and bassist Eric Roberts completed the group, which has developed its sound through incessant touring. With the summer s Warped Tour behind them and their second full-length, As Cruel As School Children, burning up hipster headphones, Travis parked his butt in the mtvU Hot Seat to answer our burning questions.
