Cute Is What We Aim For is an American power pop band from Buffalo, New York. The band formed in 2005, and since have released two albums: The Same Old Blood Rush with a New Touch and Rotation. The band had been signed with record label Fueled By Ramen but was subsequently dropped.

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 Purevolumeand Twitter. 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. andJustin Timberlake.
