Coheed and Cambria edit

Travis Stever is a founding member of Coheed and Cambria. The band is named after the title characters in lead singer-guitarist Claudio Sanchez's story, which is central to most of the band's albums.[2] Stever acts as a lead and rhythm guitarist in the band. He wrote the lyrics for the song "Ten Speed". He and Sanchez share leads and solos in the band's music, and often switch back and forth in the "dueling guitar" style made popular in the 1970s.[citation needed]

Side projects edit

Stever is the lead guitarist and vocalist of a side project called Fire Deuce, a 1980s-style metal band who released "Children of the Deuce" in 2005.

A 2006 side project released an album entitled The English Panther.

Stever has also embarked on a non-Coheed project named Davenport Cabinet, which released Nostalgia In Stereo in 2008, Our Machine in 2013 and Damned Renegades in 2014.[3] In 2021, Stever joined with members of Skarhead and Full Scale Riot to form the alternative rock and metal band Zero Trust, where Stever plays bass guitar. The band formed as an outlet during the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2020–21 United States racial unrest, debuting with a two song, self-titled EP.[4]

Stever is a member of the post-hardcore/alternative rock supergroup L.S. Dunes featuring members of Circa Survive, My Chemical Romance, and Thursday, with their debut album, Past Lives, released on November 11, 2022.[5]

Instruments edit

Besides guitar, Stever plays other stringed instruments such as the bass guitar, lap steel, banjo, mandolin, and dobro. He is credited with these instruments on various tracks of Coheed albums, and experiments with many of them on the Davenport Cabinet albums.

He uses a guitar talk box, as seen in Neverender Box Set.

He contributed to The Prize Fighter Inferno's My Brother's Blood Machine by playing lap steel on "Wayne Andrews, The Old Beekeeper".
