The Transplants are Tim Armstrong (From Rancid) and Travis Barker (Blink 182) side project. They're kind of like Punk/Rap
So what do you think of them? Their debut song "Diamonds and Guns" is played on the music channels quite a bit.
PErsonally, i've only really heard that one song but from people who have downloaded the other stuff, it's the same type of thing. I quite like the first half of "Diamonds and GUns" but i have to say i'm not keen on the rap aspect of the song. It kinda ruins it for me. But i do think they are good in the respect that i can't see another bands doing the same type of thing. (or i could not be looking) There's bands which are mixing rap and metal and rock but this is the only band (which i know of) whic are doing this.
I think i'll be sticking with Rancid, but i think it's cool that they're willing to do something different than just Rancid and Blink 182 style stuff
i like transplants a lot, not as much as rancid tho. i think it's more like some guy shouting than rapping and it works for me. also tim has the punkest voice ever. the album has a range of sounds, this is certainly something original, credit to them.
i thought 'tall cans in the air' was the first single, but i'm probly wrong. hearing that song made me get the album. 'dj dj' is my favourite at the moment.
