Travail was a Christian nu metal/rap rock band based in the Dallas/Fort Worth area in Texas. Fronted by Matt Leslie, it had an intense following at a local club called Club 412 in southwest Fort Worth. It is not well known, but in 2000, Travail was nominated for a "Dove Award", the Christian music equivalent of the Grammys.[citation needed] The band was signed on Pluto Records and then were picked up by national label Metro One. Before touring much under the new label, however, Travail broke up. Their most requested song, "Judge Me" is still a very popular song and the video for "Return" is still a popular video among those who enjoy the rapcore/nu metal genre. Guitarist Aaron Wiese was in the band Spoken but left in 2008.
