Class Clown was formed in 2001 by brothers Billy (bass) and Tim Wright (drums) in their hometown of Rutland, Vermont. With a population around only 600,000, bands in Vermont find it very difficult to be noticed. But through perseverance, grassroots promotion, and small-town support Class Clown have begun making a name for themselves. In 2003 Class Clown released the "Wrongside EP" which fueled support for the band all across New England. Class Clown was joined by lead-guitarist, Matt Ward in 2003 as well and was shortly followed by vocalist/guitarist, Jeremy Sicotte in 2004. 2004 also marked the release of Class Clown's full-length album "Make This Right..." which brought national attention to the band. Throughout 2004 Class Clown toured New England and the surrounding areas extensively and by 2005 they had gained enough support to begin touring nationally. Class Clown has toured from coast-to-coast and opened for such acts as Yellowcard, My Chemical Romance, Reel Big Fish, and many more. Among other notable accomplishments Class Clown won the 2004 VH1/School of Rock Battle of the Bands beating out over 50,000 other contestants, and most recently Class Clown finished in first place for total plays in the 2006 Ernie Ball Battle of the Bands out of over 11,000 other entries. The band's latest full-length album "Like A Wave," (although it has a slightly different sound from their previous CD's) surely wont leave fans disappointed and is expected to receive the attention of many people all over the world. "Like A Wave" was released independently on October 31, 2006. Class Clown will be relocating from Vermont to Los Angeles, California in April 2007 to continue pursuing their dream.
