Hear Gym Class Heroes’ “Stereo Hearts” With Adam Levine (Idolator Premiere)
Thu Jun 9 2011 by Becky Bain
Gym Class Heroes have never observed borders between musical styles, and why should they start now? Just because frontman Travie McCoy scored one of the summer anthems of 2010 with the pop juggernaut that was "Billionaire"? Not likely. A year (almost to the day) after McCoy dropped his solo album Lazarus, the pop/hip-hop collagists are back with a new LP of their own, The Papercut Chronicles II. We're proud to premiere Gym Class Heroes' first new single, "Stereo Hearts", featuring Maroon 5 singer and The Voice coach Adam Levine on the hook. Listen below! More »

Travie McCoy (And Patrick Stump!) Performs “Need You” On The ‘Tonight Show’
Tue Oct 12 2010 by Robbie Daw
The inspirational Travie McCoy thankfully skipped his caddish Lazarus single "We'll Be Alright" and instead performed the more soulful "Need You" on the Tonight Show With Jay Leno last night. And while most of the rest of the band (which included Patrick Stump! We see you there, Patrick!) was decked out in hats, ties and jackets, the "Billionaire" ex of Katy Perry performed in shorts, a flannel shirt and neon green tennis shoes. Way to keep it real, McCoy!

Travie McCoy Gives A Backhanded Compliment To Ex Katy Perry
Fri Oct 1 2010 by Becky Bain
"Billionaire" boy Travie McCoy has finally responded to Katy Perry's bitter, f-bomb-dropping Teenage Dream track, "Circle The Drain," in which she blasts an ex (rumored to be McCoy) for his addictions. (Sample lyric: “You fall asleep during foreplay / ‘Cause the pills you take are more your forté.") Says Travie to MTV: "I heard she put out a song that's about me, or about some old habits or whatever... I'm just stoked that she finally has a song with some substance on her record." Buuuurn. Katy, any retort? [MTV]
Travie McCoy’s “We’ll Be Alright” Video Is A Total Party Foul
Tue Sep 14 2010 by Robbie Daw
Here's what you need to know about Travie McCoy's latest Smeezingtons-produced single "We'll Be Alright": its melody is based around Supergrass' far superior 1995 Britpop hit "Alright" and it's about partying. The music video only enhances the obnoxious factor by sticking the camera in McCoy's face while he mugs annoyingly for a painfully long three minutes. Bravo! Watch below.

Which Of These Pop Jams Is the Defining Song Of Summer 2010?
Fri Jul 23 2010 by Robbie Daw
You flip on the radio and it's playing. You're at a the club on a Saturday night—or perhaps somewhere more low key, like a friend's barbecue—and it's there.
