History
| | This article or section may contain original research or unverified claims.
Please improve the article by adding references. See the talk page for details. (April 2008) | The band was formed in January 2005 as a side-project by Cherry Bing singer Shaant Timothy Hacikyan (born November 7, 1986) and lead guitarist Jeff Czum after tensions in the band rose. The band's name originated from the phrase "cute" on a phone call between him and Fred. ("cute" had become his trademark expression in high school as a synonym for "cool"). However, in high school, Shaant was often seen as an outsider. When they decided to devote themselves fully to Cute Is What We Aim For, parting ways with their other bands was less than amicable. Some members of Shaant's former band, Cherry Bing, blamed Shaant for the demise of the group. Despite their efforts to start anew, Cute Is What We Aim For has been criticized for their past engagements and their band name, as well as allegations of plagiarism.[1] Nevertheless, the band went on to record demos with multi-platinum producer Shep Goodman and Kenny Gioia, and managed to rapidly build a fanbase. A considerable amount of the band's swift success is likely thanks to the large amount of coverage received from online magazines. One such webzine, Absolutepunk.net, featured band on their "Absolute Unsigned" feature, only to have the website's founder, Jason Tate, openly harass the band via the site's message board, accusing them of being marketing marionettes of their label and excessively using Auto-Tune on their debut album. Hacikyan and the album's producer, Matt Squire, admitted to using some Auto-Tune but denied the other allegations in the following Absolutepunk interview.[2][3] For other uses, see Singer (disambiguation). ...

However, the drama surrounding the band was further fueled when they announced that they were firing their manager, who accused them of unethical business practices,[4] and underwent several line-up changes. In an effort to compensate for the absence of temporary bassist Don Arthur at a concert, Cimato permanently swapped his six-string for a bass guitar, while rhythm guitarist Chris Flury completed the quintet in November 2005.[5] Although already suspected by fans due to several indications on the band's part, on November 29, 2005, their signing with Fueled by Ramen was officially announced. Shortly thereafter, another line-up change occurred, when Flury and the band mutually agreed to part ways and Cute Is What We Aim For went on as a four-piece.

In October 2007, Fred Cimato was interviewed by www.musicscoop.net When asked if he viewed his role in the band as permanent (after returning in early 2007 many believed it was simply a temporary role) he replied, "Definitely permanent.
