UPDATE: Travis McCoy Says Solo Project Not the End of Gym Class Heros

Travis McCoy is standing strong of the claim that the release of his solo debut album Lazarus, due out June 8th, isn’t a tell-tale sign that he’s leaving his Gym Class Heroes roots.

McCoy told the media, “I’m trying to kill a lot of negative connotations out tees about me doing this solo project… A lot of people thought this was the end of the Gym Class Heroes or that Gym Class Heroes was over and I was trying to take the momentum we’ve built with Gym Class Heroes and use it for my own selfish desires.”

‘Lazarus’ has been in the works for over a year now and McCoy says this is the longest he’s ever spent on a record.
