Travis are a British alternative rock band consisting of Fran Healy on lead vocals, rhythm guitar, piano and banjo, Andy Dunlop on lead guitar, banjo, keyboards and backing vocals, Dougie Payne on bass guitar and backing vocals and Neil Primrose on drums and percussion.

Formed in 1990 in Glasgow, Scotland, the group were originally called Glass Onion (after The Beatles’ song of the same name) and released an EP under the name in 1993. A couple of years later they changed their name to Travis, after the character Travis Henderson from the film Paris, Texas, and signed to the record label Independiente, releasing their debut single All I Want to Do Is Rock in 1996.

Their debut album Good Feeling was released in September 1997. It was critically acclaimed and reached the Top 10 on the UK Albums Chart, producing the Top 40 singles U16 Girls, Tied to the 90’s, Happy and More Than Us. However, it was their second studio album that shot them to mainstream fame. The Man Who, released in May 1999, shot straight to number one in the UK – where it went on to over 2.7 million copies, being certified 9x platinum, and became the best-selling British album of the year – as well as reaching number two in Ireland and number eight in Australia. It produced four singles in total – Writing to Reach You, Driftwood, Why Does It Always Rain On Me? and Turn – which all reached the UK Top 20 and helped the group earn Best British Album at the 2000 Brit Awards.

After releasing the compilation album Singles, which produced the hit Coming Around, the group released their third studio album The Invisible Band in 2001. It was another big hit, reaching number one in the UK and the Top 40 in the US, and spawning the hit single Sing, Flowers in the Window and Side. Since then the group have released a further three albums – 12 Memories, The Boy With No Name and Ode to J. Smith – and scored UK Top 40 hits with singles like Re-Offender, Love Will Come Through, Walking in the Sun, Closer and Selfish Jean. Download Travis ringtones.
