Cute Is What We Aim ForThe Curse Of CurvesThere's A Class For This
Cute is What We Aim For is a band composed of Buffalo musicians
who were friends in high school. After touring small venues, going
through several earlier labels, and marketing their demo, the band
was signed to the label: Fueled By Ramen. Since their inception,
the band has been subject to constant line up changes.[1] Although
it was already suspected by fans due to several indications on the
band's part, on November 29, 2005 they officially announced their
signing with Fueled By Ramen.[2] On June 20, 2006, Cute Is What We Aim For's debut album, The Same Old Blood Rush with a New Touch hit store shelves, debuting at number 75 on the Billboard 200. During the fall of 2006, Cimato parted ways with the band, because
he was too out of shape, and Jack Marin (formerly of October Fall)
became the new bassist. However, six months later, in April 2007,
Jack left because of personal issues with the band members. Cimato
returned as bassist once again. In October 2007, Fred Cimato was
interviewed by musicscoop.net. When asked if he viewed his role
in the band was permanent, he replied; "Definitely permanent.
I had 7 months at home to finish up high school and after that I
was like, 'Wow, I miss playing music.' I was blessed enough to get
that opportunity again." However, Cimato left the band again
in March 2008. It was announced that Dave Melillo would be their
bassist until further notice. In early 2010, it was announced that the band will continue with frontman Shaant Hacikyan as the only original member to continue, a move purportedly meant to segue him into a solo career. After the change, Dave Melillo and Jeff Czum formed a new band, "Nocturnal Me". Their band would release two EPs before signing to Apparition Records in 2011. On April 29, 2010, Shaant released a new single called "Harbor" which was made available to download for free through Purevolume and Twitter.[3] A third full-length album is currently in production, and is slated for release in early Fall. Matt Malpass (Lydia/Holiday Parade) is producing the album. The band appeared on the Punk Goes Pop 3 compilation, released
on November 2, 2010, covering the song "Dead and Gone"
by T.I. and Justin Timberlake. The Stellar Life was put together by Richard and Stefanie Reines
of Drive-Thru Records; currently R&S Management. Their first
single was released in January of 2012 titled "Got F**ked Up"
produced by Rob Freeman of Hidden in Plain View. The band is currently
playing shows and in the studio recording their first full length
album. Shaant Hacikyan – lead vocals (2005–present) [edit] Former members Patrick MacLean – guitar, backing vocals (2010) [edit] Touring members Michael Novak – drums (2009–present) [edit] Discography Released: June 20, 2006 75 — — Released: June 24, 2008 21 11 9
