Gym Class Heroes

Guys, seriously, take your girlfriend to this show; you’ll earn more points than you might have ever thought possible. If ever there was a band that could make lady-friends swoon while still being cool enough for your dude-self to sing along to their songs, it’s Gym Class. The New York hip-hop-meets-punk-meets-pop foursome are one of precious few – if not the only band – who can effectively blend all of the genres without sounding the least bit like d-bags. Granted, that may be because frontman Travis McCoy could charm the undies off of even the most saintly of individuals while on stage, but, y’know, the music’s legit too. Or something. - Brien Overly
