Scottish rockers Travis are heavily responsible for influencing Coldplay and bringing their music to the masses worldwide.

Chris Martin, while DJing for British BBC Radio 1 last night, had this to say: “We’re gonna finish with an incredible exclusive, we’re very privileged to play it, it’s a new song by the band Travis, the band that invented my band and lots of others.”

Travis are set to release their first studio album of new material since The Invisible Band in 2001. Travis lead singer Fran Healy was quoted by ContactMusic.com: I thought it was going to get played on Saturday. I checked the Radio 1 website a few days ago and I’m sure it said Chris was on (Saturday) but what a nice surprise. “
