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.

yeah likewise, or if not in that exact spot at least somewhere on Other

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.

Only Coldplay have ever made me say that sentence before.

When did Jeremy Corbyn join the band?

 

Seriously is this a recent video? Christ and I used to like them as well

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.

[Gnomicide]

They're on Chris Evans'show this morning, may find out more if someone listens in.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Would also require listening to Travis.

(and Chris Evans)

Of them, which do you find more insufferable?

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.

Now listen again with your hats off.

Now listen to their earlier drivel with your nostalgia-tinted glasses off

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

Took your advice and listened on Spotify - don't see what the problem is, it's nothing special but certainly not worth the abuse it's got on here!

You think I'm defending their early work?

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:

If you think the new song is significantly worse than this pleasant ditty, then yes!

[stuartbert two hats]

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.

[Yokel Again]

It's a decent pop song with a very self aware cheesey video. It's supposed to be fun! Cheer up, I thought I was a miserable bugger. Being they were big REM fans I would compeltely guess the video is an attempt to hark back to the videos of Stand (take a look) and Shiny Happy People.... I wouldn't take it too seriously!

I trust we will have all learnt the chorus dance routine by June?
