Travis McCoy’s Top 10 Albums of ‘07
With 2007 drawing to a close, Myspace is featuring artist interviews to talk about their favorite albums and artists of the year. Travis McCoy was one of the artists they talked to – check out the interview page and his videos here. His taste seems to have a nice balance of hip-hop and rock, which undoubtedly comes through in the music of Gym Class Heroes. His top album of 2007 is the Arctic Monkeys’ Favorite Worst Nightmare, but also gives props to Devin the Dude, Every Time I Die and Kanye West for their efforts this year. There are a couple of other short videos you can check out by following the link above. Travie also talks about his top five favorite singles of the year and the top five performances he witnessed during ’07 – not surprising Hall and Oates made that list. It’s also notable that he’s wearing a Hatebreed hoodie during the interview, which I found surprising. I guess if Hatebreed put out an album in ’07 they would have made his list as well.
In other Travie news, a new snippet of a song from his side-project Tequila Mockingbird has been released. Check it out here. Tequila Mockingbird is a collaboration between Travis and Nick Scimeca, a good friend of Travie’s and the dude responsible for the signing of Gym Class Heroes. The duo is describing their music as “hip pop”. Not exactly sure what that is, but I guess just go to the page and check it out for yourself.
