Blink-182

The Transplants, a punk supergroup composed of drummer Travis Barker of Blink-182 and singer-guitarist Tim Armstrong and bassist Matt Freeman of Rancid, will release their debut album in September on Hellcat Records.

"I got a call from Tim and he said, 'What's up? You're my favorite drummer,'" says Barker. "I said, 'Really? Amazing!' Originally I thought I was going to come in and do some drum tracks, but they were like, 'We want you to be in our band.'"

The sixteen-song album features vocals from Armstrong's wife Brody -- of the punk band the Distillers -- on a pair of tracks, looped live drums and a drum-and-bass sound, as opposed to the straight-ahead punk rock for which Blink and Rancid are known.
