Alright, we admit it. We’re still slightly obsessed with Gym Class Heroes and their heavily tattooed frontman, Travis McCoy. And not just because he’s dating this summer’s bicurious It-Girl, Katy Perry. Or because he’s only been to rehab once. Or even because he does crazy, spontaneous, unpredictable things (like hit unruly fans with microphones! And write angry, all-caps missives on his Tumblr!) yet refuses to confirm/deny reports that he and Tyga are tangentially related.
No, our one-sided infatuation with Travis and GCH stems all the way back to last December, when we first discovered they shared our massive (equally unrequited) fascination with Hall & Oates. Since then, we’ve been counting down the days until September 9th, when their new album, The Quilt, would simultaneously hit stores and gain its rightful place in our Shrine To All Things Travis.
Except, turns out today’s our lucky day, because the album is ALREADY AVAILABLE ONLINE. Meaning now you won’t have to wait until post-VMAs to hear all those crazy compilation tracks! So head over to “The Leak” to test-drive the guys’ latest set and get your Hall & Oates fix by listening to Track 10 — “Live Forever (Fly With Me)” on permanent repeat.
Then close your eyes and try not to think mean thoughts about Katy Perry. (We’re trying. It’s not working, but we’re trying.)
