Gym Class Heroes

This blog entry was written by my little cousin, Marlee. Yay. I like it.

Ever heard of The Gym Class Heroes? Judging by their name, you might not think they were anything good. Agreed, it's kind of funky. But if you have ever heard their music, you might think otherwise. For me, the music they create brings out a lot of thought, about things that don't usually (or frequently) cross my mind other times. For example, a very thought provoking song by that group is Faces in the Hall. This song (although it has a couple swears) has a much deeper meaning. It faces the problem of hate against gay people, and of discrimination against people who are different in that way. The song tells a story of a boy, Alberto, who hates being gay, and is constantly made fun of. Some of their other songs are less message-sending, and more for listening entertainment.

Cupid's Chokehold is a remake of a much older song, borrowing the chorus but with new verses. Its lyrics are sweet and make up a basic love song about a guy who thinks he has found 'the one.' I think this band has great music, and from what I've heard it is becoming popular. If you like more of a different/rap/hiphop sort of band, then you should check them out.
