i have heard of this band before, but when I heard them on the radio for the first time today I realized I really liked their sound and vibe.  The band is called Gym Class Heroes.  They have been around for a little while (2 full CDs and then some misc. songs out there).  What attracts me to them so much is they are classified as hip-hop and yet they have a tad bit of punkish rock.  I think it really works for them and it is something we haven't heard yet.  Another cool thing about them is their lyrics are very well thought out.  Reading them is like reading thoughts that go through your head on a daily basis or philosophical ideas, or even the random pun.  An example of some of the lyrics I have pulled from their website are:
 "The world is yours, so play the role" 

"We put the "F-U" back in fun

Serve it up with a smile"

"We'll get high, and hide. 

We are lovers to the glamourous, 

white girl so fine. 

Going up on the downtown line."

"So break ourselves down

And build ourselves up in disappointment

How fragile we are

So fragile we are, we just don't show it

Shake up this town

And shoot down the stars for our enjoyment

So sexy we are

So sexy we are, we just don't know it."

"I love it how she breathes booze in the mornin'

Man, it's so sexy how she can't remember last night

I made a fatal mistake letting her drink again

But who the hell am I to tell her how to live her life?"

ANYWAY, I just wanted to spread the word about my new music interest.  I hope you are able to check them out!  Oh and one other thing, if you want to hear a really funny song poking fun of myspace listen to their song called, "New Friend Request."  HAPPY LISTENING!!
