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
Thank you guys so much for posting the new videos on your MySpace!! I love all three of those songs- especially "More Than Us"!! The video of that song from Glastonbury '99 was so powerful, and the song is still just as powerful ten years later, in a small studio, with just Fran and Andy! I hope you two enjoy your New York shows!! And as much as I enjoyed the acoustic set, I can't wait for the day that I can see the whole band rock the house!! Take care of yourselves!! Lots of love from Atlanta, GA, USA!! Donna Mac :-)
Last night's show at Jammin' Java was the best show I've seen in years (even better than the full band at the 9:30 Club this past April)! Totally worth the 3-hour drive home. So nice to meet you guys. God bless you and your families, and thank you for all of the wonderful music.
You guys probably don't check this much; I mean, Facebook is the new king of social exploitation now, right?
Whether you get this or not, I just wanted to say that the concert you performed in Milwaukee exceeded my expectations. I enjoyed every moment of it. I loved how you made the audience feel like your friends, rather than just some fans.
So, thanks for a great show and many years of great music. Keep it up!
Hey guys just watching some concert clips from last year. I really miss you!!!! Come back to Europe. have gone to see some other bands but they're not as great as you!

You guys were AWESOME last night in Somerville, MA!!!!!! My first time seeing you...and definitely NOT my last! Thanks for taking the time to meet with me and all your other fans! :)
You guys are absolutely amazing! I saw you guys earlier this year in April in Chicago! However, it was nice to see you guys at a smaller venue, more intimate show! I saw you last week in Newport and last night in Cleveland! I was the one with the dog barking camera.. and the one trying to use my economy pack of gum as collateral for a cd at the Newport show! bahaha! Thanks for spotting me the dollar Andy and glad I could pay you back last night! I feel much better!! The shows were fantastic! It's awesome to now know where those songs came from...and now I FINALLY know what "pillars turn to butter" means! Wee! I wanted to try to come see you guys in NY but..it's sold out. Boo! Wish you guys the best! Have fun!! And, thank you for taking the time to meet with all of us after every show! :)
