Win Cute Is What We Aim For albums!

The Fueled By Ramen record label is home to such heavyweights as Fall Out Boy, Panic! At The Disco, The Academy Is, Gym Class Heroes and many others but they also house the fastest selling release in the 10-year history of the label in Cute Is What We Aim For.

Produced by Matt Squire (Panic! At The Disco, Thrice), the album ‘The Same Old Blood Rush With A New Touch’ abounds with contagious energy, flaunting Cute Is What We Aim For’s distinctive gift for brightly brash melodies and endlessly witty turns of phase.

Described by singer Shaant as “power pop with intellectual lyrics,” exuberant songs such as ‘I Put The ‘Metro’ In Metronome’ and the animated first single, ‘There’s A Class For This’ (which features guest vocals from William Beckett of The Academy Is…), see the singer flipping though his virtual diary to unleash canny couplets detailing anxious post-adolescent introspection as well as his own observations on life, love and the teenage class struggle. This single is out right now on limited edition shaped picture disk.

Cute Is What We Aim For came together in January 2005, driven by the four members’ desire to cast their own upbeat spin onto modern pop. The band’s bedroom demo recordings were posted at a variety of online sites and quickly lit up broadband connections coast-to-coast, earning the young combo widespread national exposure within months of their formation.

Already a confident and charismatic live act, CIWWAF will spend their summer on the road, bringing their joyful noise to fans across The States before hitting UK shores in October, full dates below. The album The Same Old Blood Rush With A New’ is released on September 18th.
