frontman can also refer to the bands "leader", not just the lead singer....and considering in the fame and recognition travis has had, I would put him in the frontman category for sure

Frontman (also "front man") is a term referring to the lead singer or band leader of a music group. Usually, the front man is the most famous member of the group, however, this is not necessarily true in all bands. The term comes from the singer's usual position during a concert, which is in front of the stage and in front of the other band members. His chief responsibility is most commonly lead voice, and he is also the one who does most of the communication with the audience between songs. Some use the term "frontman" interchangeably with "singer", while others use "frontman" only to describe someone who sings and plays an instrument for the band
