Artist Type: Group
Group Formed:
2005
Having paired off in other local combos – singer Shaant Hacikyan 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 in Newport Beach, California, driven by the four members' desire to cast their own upbeat spin onto modern pop.
Adopting the Cute Is What We Aim For moniker as a 'homage to a friend,' the band was productive from the get-go, cranking out a series of bedroom demo recordings just moments after uniting. They posted the tracks on MySpace and PureVolume and quickly captured the attention of the blogosphere. From the start, there was a genuine connection between Cute and the kids.
