Gym Class Heroes and Cute Is What We Aim For are joining Fall Out Boy on the road this fall for The Young Wild Things Tour. The trek includes a stop at the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena on Tuesday, October 30.
Gym Class Heroes:
Noticing the Geneva, NY-based group for its alternative hip-hop style and use of live instruments, Pete Wentz signed Gym Class Heroes to his Decaydance imprint on Fueled By Ramen. The group released As Cruel As School Children in July of 2006, earning a 5-star review in Alternative Press and getting "New Artist to Watch" honors in Rolling Stone. Fueled by the #1 blockbuster "Cupid's Chokehold/Breakfast in America" and the current smash "Clothes Off!!," the album has gone on to gold certification. Gym Class Heroes also recently scored a Teen Choice Award for "Choice Music: Breakout Artist" and have performed songs from the album on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Ellen Degeneres Show, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, and Jimmy Kimmel Live.

Cute Is What We Aim For:
The Buffalo, NY-based band caused the power pop commotion of the summer of 2006 with their debut album "The Same Old Blood Rush with a New Touch." Getting notice for their gift of brightly brash melodies and endlessly witty turns of phrase, Cute Is What We Aim For landed on Rolling Stone's "10 Artists to Watch" list and Blender's annual "Hot 100" ranking. Cute Is What We Aim For spent the summer touring as a headliner on this years Warped Tour after wrapping up a co-headlining stint on the first-ever Alternative Press "Bands You Need to Know" tour with Circa Survive and being featured on the cover of Alternative Press' annual "Bands You Need to Know" issue.
