We Give Travis Morrison a Perfect 10

Travis Morrison made his mark as the vocalist and lyricist of The Dismemberment Plan—the D.C. art-rock quartet that created instant underground classics by fusing hip-hop, R&B, and playful samples. When the band split up in 2003, Travis could’ve easily called it a day and changed his name to “Been There, Done That.” Instead, he went on to produce his own solo record, Travistan, an album that tosses politics onto the dance floor and distinguishes Travis in his own right.

But we’re probably telling you something that you already know, and we just hate doing that. So, to make things up to you, we sat down to chat with Travis and quickly realized that his vast knowledge of animal rights almost (almost!) rivals his musical ingenuity. But who are we, really, to make such an assertion? Check out the interview below, and make up your own mind.

Would you like to be as knowledgeable about animal rights as Travis is? It may seem like a lofty goal, but we’ve got you covered. To keep up-to-date on what’s happening in animal rights—and to keep tabs on Travis and your other favorite—simply sign up for peta2 E-News.
