Artist of the Week: Cute is What We Aim For

Here's the deal, I was suppose to go see this band tonight at the Metro, but because of a schedule change, I now have to work. Any who, let me tell you a little about this week's artist. This band was formed in Buffalo, New York just a little more then three years ago. Just like last week's artist, this band started out as a side project for Shaant Timothy Hacikyan(Singer) and Jeff Czum(Lead Guitarist). The band would later fill in with Tom Falcone(Drums) and Fred Cimato at first, then later Dave Melillo(Bassist). In November of 2005, the band announced that they had a signed with Fueled by Ramen. It wouldn't take long for the band to release their first album, when in June of 2006, The Same Old Blood Rush with a New Touch hit stores. The album would spawn three great singles in "There's a Class for This", "Curse of Curves" and "Newport Living". All of which would help the album sell over 200,000 copies. In 2007, the band got to join Fall Out Boy, Plain White T's, and Gym Class Heroes on the Young Wild Things tour. Following that, the band went back into the studio to record their next album. Then in June of 2008, the band released Rotation.
So far the band has only released one single, but I'm sure there's more to come. That being said, this week's artist is Cute is What We Aim For with their video Practice Makes Perfect, enjoy.
