Travis talks about the Transplants

Rolling Stone briefly talked to Travis Baker of Blink 182 about his work on Tim Armstrong's Transplants side-project. "I got a call from Tim and he said, 'What's up? You're my favourite drummer,' 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 album will feature both looped live drums and a drum-and-bass influence as opposed to typical punk drumming. The article also says that Brody Armstrong of the Distillers will be a guest-vocalist on a pair of tracks. The band is "finishing the programming and mixing right now" and is planning a West Coast tour in July, followed by some East Coast dates in September.
