    I've gotten into Gym Class Heroes more and more over the past couple weeks and thought I'd make a thread asking people what they thought of them.

    That being the case, what do you all think of them? Personally, I like them a lot. Their lyrics aren't ridiculously mainstream-ish. They actually have themes. All the instruments are played live, too. They're basically an indie Fort Minor. Kind of.

    Gym Class Heroes are pretty good. I recently got into them as well. The only song I can't really listen to by them is New Friend Request because the lyrics aren't great. Other than that, the Emcee is great live (caught him on Jimmy Kimmel with the Cobra Starship Performance).

    I don't like "New Friend Request" because it's about meeting someone on MySpace and having a hard-on for them before you even know them. :lol:

    I love Cobra Starship. It's the side-project of the dude from Midtown. I was actually disappointed when I heard the song and Travis didn't have a big rap verse.

    Edit:
    They are amazing live. I saw them on Warped Tour, acoustic and normal.

    I really like them. Haven't listened to them much lately, though. I first found out about them when Dedicated mentioned them.

    I guess Papercuts is my favourite song. Have to check out their new album, though.

    They're one of my favourite bands at the moment. I've liked them for quite a while and I just don't get bored of them.

    Will, if you haven't heard their ...For The Kids album you're missing out. It's amazing.

    Yeah. It's a great album. I've got everything except for the first album they ever put out. Downloaded of course.
