Matt McGinley, born in Geneva, NY, is the co-founder and drummer of Gym Class Heroes. He and Travis McCoy met up in school in Phys. Ed. - hence the name Gym Class Heroes - and quickly became friends.



The two later decided to form a band, and after former members Milo Bonacci and Ryan Geise joined the band, Gym Class Heroes was officially formed. With the band, he has played drums on every Gym Class Heroes release to date, including the albums: Hed Candy, Greasy Kid Stuff, For The Kids, The Papercut Chronicles, and more recently, As Cruel As School Children.
