Release Notes:

Decaydance/Fueled By Ramen has announced the release of "AS CRUEL AS

SCHOOL CHILDREN," the new album from Gym Class Heroes. The Geneva,

NY-based group's latest collection will hit stores this coming Tuesday,

July 25th.

Produced by S*A*M, aka Sam Hollander (Method Man, the Sounds, and

Earth, Wind & Fire), and Sluggo, the alter-ego of renowned session

bassist Dave Katz (Roger Daltrey), "AS CRUEL AS SCHOOL CHILDREN" also

features co-production from good friend Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy.

The album's first single, "The Queen and I," is already breaking out in

radio markets across the country, including Los Angeles, where KIIS-FM

is currently spinning the record 30 times a week. The video for "The

Queen and I" will premiere all day long on mtvU on July 24th.

Gym Class Heroes' lead singer, Travis McCoy, recently collaborated with

Cobra Starship (new band of Midtown's Gabe Saporta) along with fellow

musicians William Beckett (The Academy Is...) and Maja Ivarsson (the

Sounds) to release the track "Snakes on a Plane (Bring It)." The song

is not only Cobra Starship's first single, but is also the lead track

on the soundtrack to this summer's sure-to-be blockbuster hit, "Snakes

On A Plane," starring Samuel L. Jackson. Gym Class Heroes' "New Friend

Request (Hi-Tek Remix)" will be featured on the soundtrack, and two

additional songs of theirs will be featured in the film.

Gym Class Heroes are currently wrapping up this summer's Vans Warped

tour, where they are playing two shows a day to packed audiences. The

band will kick off their headlining tour, "Jerry's Kids Short Bus Tour

06," in September, with support from Cobra Starship and Cage. Gym Class

Heroes will also headline a handful of dates in the United Kingdom in

early September.

Gym Class Heroes garnered critical acclaim for their unique sound and

approach with their Decaydance/Fueled By Ramen debut, 2005's "THE

PAPERCUT CHRONICLES." It was the band's alternative hip-hop style and

use of live instruments in favor of looped samples and canned beats

that caught the attention of Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz, who

immediately signed the group to his Decaydance imprint. With constant

touring and a huge online presence, the band has built a large and

dedicated fan base.

Gym Class Heroes are: Travis McCoy (lead vocalist), Disashi

Lumumba-Kasongo (guitarist), Eric Roberts (bassist), and Matt McGinley

(drummer).
