  TRANS AM
This Trans Am website is a discography-only website, a remnant of the pages which were hosted on brainwashed since 1997.
Trans Am's third and most controversial album, The Surveillance, marks a new direction for them as it is the first that they recorded and mixed entirely by themsleves.
Trans Am have been touring almost constantly since their eponymous debut was released.

 Trans Am History
The Trans Am "Power Bulge" hood was discontinued in favor of new flat hood with twin louvered nostrils that were not functional.
Trans Am GTA introduced, available with the LB9 305 TPI motor (which was brought back to 215 hp) or the L98 350 TPI.
The Trans Am GTA was Pontiac's pride and joy with a standard 5.7 L 350 Tuned Port Injection (TPI), the engine itself was pulled directly out of the C4 Corvette that began in 1985 and was used all the way through 1992.

 The 1982 to 1983 Trans Am
When the 1982 Trans Am was released to a curious buying public in January 1982, many raved about its beautifully sculpted state of the art body style which had a drag coefficient of.31 making it the most aerodynamic car in the world for 1982.
Trans Am sales immediately shot up like a rocket with the 1982 Trans Am to 52,960 which was almost double that of the previous model year.
This is remarkable considering that the 1982 model year was short for the Trans Am due to its late introduction in January 1982 which gave it only gave it 8 months instead of the standard 12 months.

 Amazon.com: Futureworld: Music: Trans Am
On Trans Am's fourth full-length release, the instrumental trio from Washington, D.C., refine their particular convergence of rock-oriented guitar vocabularies and '80s-influenced electronica.
There's a lot to like here: Trans Am have a certain sense of humor that is missing from many "serious" modern bands in the same vein, and they know how to find a fine balance between piledriving (see city in flames, portions of the title track) and downright pretty (sad and young, runners standing still).
all i have to say is that i started listening to trans am with this one, so i can understand if some trans am fans from the first album onwards cuss at the fact that they went...

 TRANS AM
Trans Am's stance is unmistakable in tracks such as “Uninvited Guest,” which features a reworked Dubya proclaiming, “Operation Iraqi freedom was carried out with a combination of lies and intimidation,” and, “We have witnessed the arrival of a new era: the beginning of the end of America.”
Although Liberation is a first for Trans Am in terms of political rhetoric, the music is a conscious return to the group's classic sound — an energized, futuristic hybrid of soaring synth lines and searing guitar-based elements that vacillates between full-on electronic and all-out rock.
Trans Am has a history of tracking to 2-inch tape, but with the somewhat recent inclusion of a Digidesign Digi 001 and a PC-based Pro Tools LE 5.1.1 system, Liberation became a definite digital-analog hybrid.

 Thrill Jockey Records - Artists
Determined to make a break with the past, Trans Am again arrived again with almost none of their signature gear: none of the vocoders, keyboards, drums, drum machines and amps that they used on previous albums.
In such a crush of time, Trans Am had to rely on traditional time and possibility expanding substances: coffee, yerba mate, et cetera, as well as a codified series of recording techniques called “Obscene Strategies”.
Over many years, Trans Am developed their own Obscene Strategies to provide a less humanist and more time-sensitive set of guidelines for loosening creative blockages.

 Official Ticketmaster site. Trans AM tickets, concerts and tour dates
Trans Am are loosely associated with the mid-'90s post-rock scene centered around Tortoise, Ui, Labradford, Windy & Carl, etc., and the Thrill Jockey, Kranky, UHF, and Southern labels, among others.
Although a vast distance separates Trans Am's albums, all of them are concerned with an extreme, somewhat humorous reorientation of the clichés and conventions of rock music, primarily through either technical (exaggerated displays of skill) or instrumental (electronics, effects) deviation.
The group returned in the fall of 1996 with a self-titled EP of somewhat retro electro-funk experiments (released by Happy Go Lucky) that brought to the fore an affection for electronics previously reserved either for between-time studio distraction or the brief interludes separating the meatier segments of their debut.

 Trans Am - Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Pontiac developed the Trans Am for the sole purpose of giving Burt Reynolds something besides Sally Field to wrap around stationary objects.
The first Pontiac Trans Am was crafted out of pure hate and evil from the fires of Mordor in the buttcrack of Mount Doom, just like the Ford Pinto half a decade before.
Although many suggest that the first Trans Am was built as early as 1969, any pre-1977 Trans Am is a figment of your imagination and is the result of a contact high from spending too much time with someone who's been huffing kittens or listening to The Doors.

 TrouserPress.com :: Trans Am
On its debut, Trans Am assuredly blasts through eleven instrumentals which peel away the pomposity and fluff of early Van Halen, leaving behind only the propulsive swagger.
Few would have imagined Trans Am politicized, but Liberation is proof of it, a reflection of the nation's dire situation after 9/11.
Against the tense, pulsing backdrop of "Uninvited Guest," Trans Am juxtaposes reconfigured samples of President Bush: "Operation Iraqi Freedom is carried out with a combination of lies and intimidation the enemy did not expect and the world has not seen before." The effect is chilling, a stark contrast to the goofy party vibe of TA.

 Trans Am: TA: Pitchfork Record Review
If you listen to their records without at least a remedial knowledge of the last thirty years of pop history, with a minor in the butt-rock and the electro-pop of the 70s and 80s, you're only getting half the story.
Each of Trans Am's previous records struck me as an enthusiastic homage to overlooked and underrepresented genres.
Trans Am continued to refine their craft on Surrender to the Night, The Surveillance, and Futureworld, culminating with what I think is their finest album, the comparatively serious and varied Red Line.

 Trans Am: The Red Line: Pitchfork Record Review
To fully appreciate Trans Am, you must concede that there's nothing inherently terrible about Led Zeppelin or Thin Lizzy; all that's required is for you to hear this band in a way that either ignores or pokes fun at the horrible specter of classic rock radio.
Which brings up the second great thing about Trans Am: their killer sense of humor, even more impressive considering 90% of their music is instrumental.
Though Trans Am once seemed a band that ping-ponged between two distinct musical personalities, they come into their own as a band that's mastered a dozen on The Red Line.
