The Transits Release Self Titled Debut Album

New Zealand / South African band The Transits have released their self titled debut album, not only is this newly released debut album a ten track indie punk synth pop banger, it’s the result of many hours writing and recording online and across three home studios, two countries and two different time zones. Luckily, the trio know each other well, having made music together on and off since forming their first band as teenagers three decades ago.

“We’ve been close friends for even longer than that, and the album definitely reflects the joy and passion of us being a band again. It’s been a busy year of figuring things out and refining The Transits sound  – a mix of rock, punk, indie and synth-pop – with the overall vibe being energetic.” (vocalist & bassist Dom Antelme)

The excitement for today’s release has been built up from the release of the synth laden single Lost Ones, the rock infused punk track Renegade Hearts, the haunting synth driven Fall Into Dark and their debut single When You Went Away. Joining these singles on the album are seven new tracks, which include the nostalgia-inspired Into Unknown, the high energy In Stereo, the powerful rock track Light My Way Back Home, which speaks to the 2022 rioting in South Africa, and the band’s catchy new single Heartbreak Queen.

Becoming known for their stand-out music videos, the band have created a new one for Heartbreak Queen, this time playing crash test dummies. After an impressive first year as a band, resulting in today’s self-titled debut album release, The Transits and their growing fanbase are showing no signs of slowing down.
