Transplants (album) Totally Explained

Everything about Transplants Album totally explained

Transplants is Transplants' eponymous debut released in 2002. It featured three main Transplants members, Tim Armstrong, Rob Aston and Travis Barker. The album was recorded in Tim's basement and also featured Matt Freeman (Rancid), Vic Ruggiero (The Slackers), Davey Havok (AFI) and Brody Dalle (The Distillers, then-wife of Tim). Brody sings on the track "Weigh On My Mind", which Tim then described as "their song".
   The singles, "Diamonds and Guns" and "D.J. D.J." quickly became MTV favourites and they received commercial success and critical acclaim. They followed up by touring with bands such as the Foo Fighters.
   The song "California Babylon" appeared on the soundtrack of Tony Hawk's Underground. UK alternative band Pop Will Eat Itself covered "California Babylon" halfway between their song Bulletproof (due to the similar sound of the song) on The Reformation tour in January 2005.
   The single "Diamonds and Guns" is played as the background music in most Garnier Fructis commercials. The song is edited with no lyrics except the chorus' "woo woo".
