September 7, 2004

I have some HUGE news for you today. Please welcome the newest addition to the Fueled By Ramen family, Gym Class Heroes. I??™m so incredibly stoked on this band. FBR has always had bands with a wide variety of styles, but GCH take that to another level. I hope that you??™ll be as into this band as I am.
