Ode To J Smith is Travis’s loudest, edgiest and most arresting record since their debut. Written in 5 weeks and recorded in just 14 days, it’s the sound of a band re-born, re-inspired and re-energised.
"On their sixth album, the band finally display a disregard for expectations and turn the guitars up to 11."- Independent On Sunday.
"Flitting joyfully between gonzo rock opera (no, really), Silver Sun shining power-pop and their Good Feeling debut, it's a joyous racket. Always better as underdogs, it's a band whose only link to their past is great melodies. 8/10" - Planet Sound
"This album is certainly a rush. Their re-embrace of rock is a move forward, rather than a step back – a return to form." - BBC Music
Ode to J Smith is out now on CD, Vinyl and digital formats in the UK. You can order the album from this link

So, I'm sure you guys have heard about all of this Twilight hoopla. Were you aware that the author of the books, Stephenie Meyer, thanked Travis in her book sleaves and has your songs on her website playlists for the books?
Now, I'm completely serious when I say this: please, for the love of all things holy, DO NOT let her ruin your beautiful music by making it affiliated with this "saga". If her reps come to you and ask for permission to use one of your songs, PLEASE. SAY. NO. Your many fans will thank you.
I love Travis too much and wouldn't be able to stomach tween vamps clutching all of your albums to their chests in the checkout line just because it related to the books' main characters. You get the picture.
I have faith in you guys. Keep making incredible music and stop by Texas sometime. We miss you!
Cheers! Lindsey
PS- Hopefully you guys aren't (big) fans of Twilight. If you are, I'm sorry if this offended you. ;)
