Travis
Travis are a Scottish rock band formed in Glasgow in 1990, and composed of Fran Healy (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Dougie Payne (bass guitar, backing vocals), Andy Dunlop (lead guitar, banjo, backing vocals), and Neil Primrose (drums, percussion). The band's name comes from the character Travis Henderson (played by Harry Dean Stanton) from the film Paris, Texas (1984). The band released their debut album, Good Feeling (1997), to moderate success where it debuted at number nine on the UK Albums Chart and was later awarded a silver certification from the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) in January 2000.
The band gained greater success with their second album, The Man Who (1999), which spent nine weeks at number one on the UK Albums Chart, totalling 134 weeks in the top 100 of the chart. In 2003, The Man Who was certified 9× platinum by the BPI, which represented sales of over 2.68 million in the UK alone. After that success, the band released their third album, The Invisible Band (2001). It matched the track record of The Man Who, debuting atop the UK Albums Chart as well as peaking at thirty-nine on the US Billboard 200. A year after the release of The Invisible Band, the BPI awarded Travis with a 4× platinum certification for the album. Further releases, 12 Memories (2003), The Boy with No Name (2007), Ode to J. Smith (2008), Where You Stand (2013), Everything at Once (2016), 10 Songs (2020), and L.A. Times (2024) also achieved commercial success. In 2004, the band released their first greatest hits album, Singles.
Travis have twice been awarded best band at the Brit Awards and were awarded the NME Artist of the Year award at NME's 2000 ceremony, and in 2016 were honoured at the Scottish Music Awards for their outstanding contribution to music.
