 (20 Customer Reviews)
The self-titled Transplants album represents Rancid vocalist Tim Armstrong's variant on that great rock & roll staple, the side project. As is often the case with such endeavors by members of famous bands, TRANSPLANTS was recorded bit by bit over the course of a couple of years (presumably during Armstrong's downtime from Rancid). Still, it all hangs together with its raw, organic vibe. Though loops and synthesizer are present nearly every cut, the album maintains an agreeably rough-and-ready rock & roll feel. Fans of Rancid should feel at home with the punk quotient here, but healthy doses of hip-hop, funk, and reggae are injected into the mix as well, and Armstrong shares vocals with cohort Rob Aston throughout the album.

 Angry but good
I got fed up of the angry man shouting swear words into the mic by about 1978 and because of that some tracks left me cold.
The remainder - with the exception of DREAM - are top notch.
Rancid and 182 work well together, buy this today and enjoy!

Mediocre but Fun
The lyrics from Rob Aston are pretty banal and juvenile at times, but Tim Armstrong picks up with a much better voice and much more lyrical sensibility to really carry this record. It's a hard mix of tracks that's really great to throw on the stereo on cruise on the freeway to, but other than that, it just seems kind of average all around, nothing that stands out as being very phenominal.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  Fresh sounds
Remember the 80's with all those bands, like Clash, Undertones, and so?
Well, Transplants looks the same: Fresh and powerfull rock, kinda new age emerging from the ashes...
If you like them, also hear The Strokes, The Soft Boys, and The Sounds.

Principally recorded at Westlake Studios, Hollywood, California between May and June 2001.
This authentic, damaged, street-kid punk outfit boasts the magnificent, mouth-full-of-marbles gutter-punk accent of Brody, wife of Rancid's Tim Armstrong. (Both slur their vocals in a similar fashion.) Improving on their very fine, self-titled debut album, their latest, Sing Sing Death House, is battle-scarred and resolute, but Brody's tough voice is more expressive than your average punker's and especially affecting when she flaunts the full range of her throaty ...

Transplants
$6.69
(Pssst... Buy the CD on my website... www.jacobnelson.com this is more for digital distribution....)"He's a tremendous talent who deserves to be seen. My family and I have been in Country music since I was 10 years old. When I see talent like Jake, it's only right to help him out like I was helped. He is a legitimate country talent, plus, his politeness strikes you - He respects people and he respects who he is!" (Mr. Don Jesser, Professional Rodeo Announcer, PRCA, Antelope Valley Press, 05/07/07)Although he is not a rodeo competitor, Jacob Nelson is a huge Rodeo Fan and huge Country Music Fan. He has been singing for the Showdown Rodeo for the past 6 years. To give back to the "All-American" institution that has given him so many opportunities, Jake wrote, copyrighted, and recorded an original song about the "Rodeo Experience". The upbeat, honky-tonk song titled "Just Can't Wait" was debuted at the Showdown Rodeo on May 31, 2007. The song was met with overwhelming enthusiasm and support. "Just Can't Wait" has received radio play both on the FM radio market as well as on the internet. Jake was the Featured Artist of the Night on WBRF, North Carolina, with the Night Rider, Bruce Hodges.To further promote the rodeo experience, Jake also produced a music video to accompany the song - it was featured on the Antelope Valley Today television show. Mrs. Pam Zamrzla, wife of Showdown Rodeo Organizer Johnny Zamrzla, said, "Everytime I listen to it (Just Can't Wait) I hear more of the words and realize their meaning. I can see this playing on CMT (Country Music Television) and I am not impressed with a lot of stuff - He has outdone himself!" (Antelope Valley Press)Jake started singing the National Anthem to open the rodeo 6 years ago. "It is SO cool and such an honor to stand in the rodeo arena in front of 5000 patriotic rodeo fans and sing the Anthem", said Jake. "I really like it when people tell me that I made the hair on back of their neck stand up!!!" Jake's CD, "Just Can't Wait" was released May 31st, the opening day of the 2007 Showdown Rodeo. The CD includes "Just Can't Wait", "Burning Love", "The National Anthem", and "Just Can't Wait - Showdown Rodeo Version". The CD can be downloaded from iTunes or purchased on Jake's Website (www.jacobnelson.com). Jake sends out a very special thank you to Mr. Monroe Conner and The Honky Tonk Truckers (www.honkytonktruckers.com) for being such awesome musicians and backing him up in the studio making his CD!"I am so extremely grateful to Mr. Johnny Zamrzla, the Showdown Rodeo Committee, and Mr. and Mrs. Don Jesser, for all of the opportunities they have given me", says Jake. Not only have they given Jake the opportunity to sing at their rodeo, they have also made it possible for Jacob to sing at other events. Jake had the opportunity to sing for 3 nights at the Gold Coast Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. He was a guest of and sang with Susie Dobbs and the Way Out West Band (www.susiedobbs.com). He also sang at the Thomas and Mack Center for an event at the National Rodeo Finals (NFR) in Las Vegas.Jake is a member of both the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA).

| | Dem Southernfolkz Message CD (2008)
Transplants
$13.89
In 2001, Thomas Benjamin (“Big Ben”) and Rudy Jackson (“Kinfolke Jack”) met at Fort Hood in Killeen, Texas. After sharing similar passions for music, they began a journey which led to the formation of Dem Southernfolkz (“DSFZ”). Focused on producing and promoting quality music, DSFZ set to blend hip-hop culture with easy sounds of jazz and soul music. Creating music since day one, both Big Ben and Kinfolke Jack were separated with military tours in Iraq. With the passion to make music regardless of location, the duo would send beats and written verses to each other through e-mail. Although Kinfolke Jack finished his official duty earlier than Big Ben, the two continued to make music and even spent a week straight while Big Ben ...
