What the press is saying about Travis and The Man Who:

  • "The most romantic Brit-pop since the death of The Verve." [NY Daily News]
  • "A remarkably graceful yet rough-hewn sound that pleads, provokes, and tosses and turns alongside the everchanging tides of Fran Healy's heart-thumping vocals." [Request]
  • "[W]ith gorgeous guitar hooks and boy-next-door sincerity... Travis are clearly the kings of Brit pop." [Rolling Stone]
  • "[The Man Who's] melodic ballads have plenty of humor and leftover teenage angst to balance the St. John's wort-level melancholy." [Spin]
