Transister was a British-American alternative rock band formed in late 1995 in Los Angeles.
Transister's formation was the culmination of various collaborations between songwriter Eric Pressly, former Danny Wilson frontman Gary Clark, and vocalist Keely Hawkes.
[1][2] The three were encouraged by the results of their early songwriting attempts, and decided to release a six-song EP on their own record label.
Transister began to attract major label attention after KCRW DJ Christopher Douridas played a few of the self-recorded tracks on Morning Becomes Eclectic in early 1996.
Tracks from the album were featured on a number of film soundtracks, including Nightwatch (1997), Wild Things (1998), Jawbreaker (1999), Never Been Kissed (1999), Charlie's Angels (2000) and Cheaters (2000).
