Transplants is the name of an American
punk/
hip hop band. They formed in 1999 when
Tim Armstrong of the band
Rancid played his friend and roadie Rob Aston some beats he had made using Pro Tools and asked Rob if he would consider contributing lyrics. Initially, Tim played all the instruments himself but as the project grew, he invited musician friends such as Matt Freeman (Rancid), Lars Frederiksen (Rancid), and Vic Ruggiero (
The Slackers) to add to the sound.
