I know I've only seen one band in Acoustic, but despite the venue name, Stornoway were just as plugged in in there last year as they always are! And the sound was fantastic. I'm no fan of Travis, but I reckon that would suit them to a T. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwedgeAntilles Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 Still think they'll do the same slot as The Cribs last year. In after the opener just in time for folk's alcohol and substances to be kicking in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4AssedMonkey Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 Looks like Fran has done all the ageing for the entire band. They haven't changed and he looks like my grandad. Who's dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odessa Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Been seeing people slag off Travis quite a bit on here, thinking "nah they're not that bad", cos the only song I knew was Why Does It Always Rain On Me. But that....that is just horrific. Wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuartbert two hats Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 You're all weird. That new song is better than the dreary rubbish they churned out in their heydey. Seriously, it's my new favourite Travis song. Not that I was a big fan back in the day mind. Sounds like something Paul Simon could have written in the 80s, not a bad thing.

stuartbert two hats Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Have you all confused a bright video with a song that is noticeably inferior to their earlier work? The song's not particularly remarkable in any way to me. Try listening to the song without watching the video and you'll all realise it's fine. I always find that if lots of people disagree with me, it's because I'm totally right and they're all mad. Not that I'm missing anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly It's a Travis song! At least when another bland band decided to do something more interesting, I could see why there were objections: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuartbert two hats Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 If I could go back in time to my 1999 Stu and tell him that I'd be defending Travis' new song on eFests in 17 years, he would shake his head in disgust and walk away.
