History
[edit]2001–08: Five Minute Ride, No Not Constant, and O! the Joy
[edit]In 2001, while still a senior in high school, Kurt Travis was offered to join the Cameron Park based post-hardcore band Five Minute Ride, after the members discovered him at an open mic event in Placerville, California.[29] The band's 2003 debut EP, Bathroom Walls... Lipstick Secrets, was released on promoter Eric Rushing's now-defunct 720 Records. Their follow-up EP, The World Needs Convincing of All That It's Missing, was recorded during the summer of 2004 with producer Kurt Ballou at Godcity Studios in Salem, MA, and released in 2005 through Rise Records. The group later disbanded in October 2005 after many of the original members, who formed the band during high school, had left for college.[30]
No Not Constant, another post-hardcore project based in Sacramento, California, consisting of Kurt Travis, Julian Loy, Tony Marks, Josh Benton, Alex Fleshman and Dale Arseneau, formed in 2007. The band was described as a "nu-jazz" and "indie pop" group and were heavily praised throughout the Northern California music scene. The band was short-lived and disbanded the same year.[31]
After numerous trial and errors with Five Minute Ride and No Not Constant, as well as his folk music project There & Back Again, he joined the post-hardcore band O! the Joy.[32] With the band, he released one full-length studio album, titled Zen Mode (2008), which was recorded at Tiny Telephone Studios in San Francisco, California.[32] Despite local success, the group disbanded the same year.
2008–10: Dance Gavin Dance
[edit]Briefly following Jonny Craig's departure from American post-hardcore band Dance Gavin Dance in November 2007, Kurt Travis replaced Craig as clean vocalist. Travis' first tour with the group took place from January 16 to February 22, 2008, co-headlined with metalcore band Poison the Well.[33] The band released their second studio album, Dance Gavin Dance, on August 19, 2008 on Rise Records.[34] In support of its release, the group co-headlined a summer tour with post-hardcore band A Static Lullaby from July to August 2008.[35] The band toured as support on Senses Fail's US tour in October and November 2008.[36]

On January 25, 2017, the group released the single "Fantasy", announcing their debut EP, Fantasy, which was released on Spirit Vision Records on April 20, 2017. Another single, "Letting Go", was released on February 28, 2017.[59] The project was discontinued after their first and only performance at Concert in the Park in Sacramento due to conflicts within the group.
2017–present: Push Over
[edit]A post-hardcore musical group, consisting of Kurt Travis and The Fall of Troy vocalist and guitarist Thomas Erak, named Push Over, was revealed on January 29, 2017. Travis announced that the duo was composing new material for an upcoming release in 2017.[60] A demo EP was released on February 5, 2017.[61]
Erak joined Travis' post-hardcore band Royal Coda as a touring guitarist and backing vocalist in August 2018, however dropped off halfway through the tour. It was speculated the duo was on hiatus as Erak was focusing on his solo career and Travis was focusing on his respective musical endeavors, but it was confirmed in February 2019 that the group will release new material. In January 2020, the group released the single "1NE", from their upcoming debut studio album.
2018–present: Royal Coda
[edit]On January 28, 2018, Blue Swan Records confirmed that American music trio Royal Coda signed to its label.[62] The band consists of A Lot Like Birds drummer Joe Arrington and Stolas and Sianvar guitarist Sergio Medina, along with Kurt Travis as vocalist. The group revealed that they finished recording their debut studio album on January 29, with a tentative release date in the spring 2018.[63]

The tour also saw Travis perform as a part of Dance Gavin Dance again for the first time in years, sharing clean vocal duties with Andrew Wells in the wake of Tilian Pearson's departure from the band.[69]
2021: Gold Necklace
[edit]Gold Necklace is a progressive rock duo consisting of Kurt Travis and Brandon Ewing.[70] This is the second project the two have been a part of together since the math rock trio Eternity Forever.[71] Their debut song, "Vibe with Me", was released on September 15, 2021 and their self-titled debut studio album, released on November 12 on Kill Iconic Records, a label owned by Hail the Sun's Donovan Melero.[72] Although presented as a duo, Royal Coda drummer Joseph Arrington wrote and recorded drums on the album.[73]
Business ventures and other endeavors
[edit]In August 2015, Travis launched his own independent record label Esque Records. Travis said he was inspired to begin a record label due to wanting to support artists "while touring as a solo artist and with A Lot Like Birds."[74] Originally, the label's roster included a variety of indie rock and math rock bands including Rome Hero Foxes, Lemix J. Buckley, Floral, Amarionette, and In Angles. In the fall of 2016, Travis announced the first and only Esque Records Tour, which took place from September 29 to October 26 with support from Strawberry Girls, Amarionette, and Lemix J. Buckley.[75]
In 2021, Travis launched Big Wave Industries, an independently owned company purposed for selling merchandise for indie bands including post-hardcore bands Adventurer and Body Thief.[76]
