According to a report from Launch media the music of this project fuses punk with reggae, hip-hop, and dancehall beats. Barker says: "It's really influenced by old English Dogs and G.B.H., that kind of stuff. Then some of it is really hardcore drum and bass. It's weird."
The band began in Armstrong�s home studio a couple years ago when he started to collaborate with vocalist Rob Aston. A little while later Barker joined up and started recording with Armstrong and Aston.
The album features guest appearances from Lars Frederiksen and Matt Freeman of Rancid, Brody Armstrong of the Distillers, and Davey Havok of AFI.
What does the music sound like? "Transplants songs are over the top�. It's so punk it's stupid," says Barker.
We will find out on the 22nd second when the self-titled debut from the Transplants hits stores through Tim Armstrong�s Hellcat Records.
