Contrary to popular belief, and what your ears may tell you, the songs posted on this blog were not recorded by Fleet Foxes, but rather one dude who impersonates Fleet Foxes using overdubbing and lots of reverb.

Our brand new album, 'L.A. Times' is out now!

Fran Healy considers Travis’ inception, imagining a bay of little sailboats “with all the bands and artists sitting in them, waiting on that freak gust of wind to blow them to fame and fortune.” For some it never comes. For Travis, it would yield a run of hits including modern standards such as Sing, Why Does It Always Rain On Me, Driftwood, and lift them to unimaginable heights. At various points along the trajectory, Travis have sold millions of albums (The Man Who is 9x Platinum certified in the UK alone); secured multiple wins at the BRITs, Ivor Novello and Q Awards; and acclaim from the likes of Paul McCartney, Elton John and Graham Nash – also songwriters whose ability to divine a timeless melody out of thin air has sustained them through decades. 

There’s something powerful about the fact that Travis is made up of the same four musicians who first came to prominence in 1996 with their debut EP ‘All I Want To Do Is Rock’. An unbroken line-up for an unbroken band – Fran Healy (vocals, guitar); Andy Dunlop (guitar); Dougie Payne (bass); and Neil Primrose (drums). By his own account, Travis’ new album, L.A. Times is Fran Healy’s most personal songwriting since ‘The Man Who’. Honouring the unique chemistry that first united the band in Glasgow, 5000 miles away from L.A., if you’ve heard the new single Gaslight, you’ll have been reminded that when the four members of Travis convene to make music, the resulting sound is impossible to mistake for any other band.

One of music’s true originals Van Morrison’s unique and inspirational musical legacy is rooted in postwar Belfast.

Underworld are Rick Smith and Karl Hyde. Their peerless first album - dubnobasswithmyheadman - was released to universal acclaim in 1994. In the thirty years since that mould breaking debut, the band have established their reputation as one of the most groundbreaking and important electronic acts of all time, one that constantly pushes creative boundaries, twists genres and refuses to stay still. In those thirty years, their music has soundtracked approximately 100,000,000 nights out, and the mornings after. In the past year alone, Underworld have played live in front of over half a million people all across the globe.
