Hellogoodbye November 4, 2006

Hellogoodbye is all about having fun. What started out as a casual recording project in one boy's bedroom quickly became one of the most lighthearted rock-dance-roll bands around today. Having paired off in other local combos -- Shaant and guitarist Jeff Czum in one, bassist Fred Cimato and drummer Tom Falcone in another -- Cute Is What We Aim For came together in January 2005, driven by the four members and their desire to cast their own upbeat spin onto modern pop. Reggie and The Full Effect is fronted by Get Up Kids keyboardist James Dewees. If you're thinking synth-driven, sugar-coated pop with heavily emo-inflected lyrics, you're right on target.
