What Genre are the Gym Class Heroes?

[Ricochet J]

I'm really puzzled after listening to Cupid's Chokehold (which after listening to that single I found out who they were!)

Any suggestions?

Edit: Ba da da da!

 

[Visionary]

Hip Hop I'd say, just with a live band.

 

[Lysander]

Hip hop, according to Last FM. Never heard of them though.

They are with the same record label as Fall Out Boy I think.

 

[Sic]

for me, they fall under 'horrible, horrible, horrible'. 'hip hop' and pop punk should never be mixed. never.

 

[Peño]

Hip-Hop.

Travis McCoy is a rapper, but I wouldn't call them (as a band) rap because that's just one element of their band.

I saw them live at the Carling Academy Islington in February which was their first full set in London (I think) and most of the people there were punk emo kids because they're on the Decaydance/Fueled By Ramen label (with Fall Out Boy etc.) which explains it.

Also saw them support FOB in January 2006 which was pretty cool because they played all their old stuff which nobody appreciated.
