There are 2 bands named Transplants.
#1 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. Before long, Tim and Rob decided to officially form a band, but to make things complete, they wanted a drummer, so Travis Barker from blink-182 was asked to join in 2002. Travis actually recorded all drums for the first album in about eight hours.
Tim first became inspired to work with loops and samples after being introduced to London’s speed/garage scene by Kerrang! magazine writer Morat in the mid-90s.
The group’s music is a combination of hip hop, reggae, drum n bass, dub, and punk, but not necessarily all at once. Although many are used sparingly throughout the album, punk and rap remain as the prominent styles. Lyrically, Rob Aston describes their songs as ranging from topics such as murder (“Quick Death”) to the passing of a loved one (“Sad But True”) to failed friendships (“We Trusted You”).
After two years of recording, they released their debut album Transplants on Hellcat Records in October 2002. In the end, the album was recorded and mixed entirely in Tim’s basement.

I love that band. I didn't got them for the first time, because in their songs I heard a lot of rap, and I can't stay this genre. Now they're one of my favourites. Self-titled I like most, because the second is more 'rappy'. Tim and Travis are amazing! Rob also ;). Travis'd better leave Blink182 and record new record with Transplants. I heard they're going to make a record this year. Who knows is that true? *This is how all rap should sound [2]*
