Skinhead Rob

Aston's career began as a roadie for bands Boot Party, AFI, and Rancid.{{cite web|url=https://www.gwhatchet.com/2002/12/05/interview-rob-aston-you-know-that-kid-who-plays-with-tim-armstrong-and-that-kid-from-blink-182/|title=INTERVIEW: Rob Aston, you know, that kid who plays with Tim Armstrong and that kid from blink-182|first=Andrew|last=Phillips|publisher=GW Hatchet|date=December 5, 2002}} He eventually started a solo career, releasing the song "Show Me". He became involved in the Transplants when Tim Armstrong asked for lyrics to the songs Aston had been writing. The two started jamming in Armstrong's basement. They eventually invited Travis Barker of Blink-182 to provide drum tracks, instead of using drum-loops as originally planned.

At the end of the 2005 Vans Warped Tour, Transplants took a hiatus and Aston and Barker joined Houston rapper Paul Wall, who chopped and screwed the Transplants' Haunted Cities album, to form a new group called Expensive Taste. He has been interviewed by Nardwuar the Human Serviette, along with Barker. As of January 2010, according to drummer Travis Barker, the Transplants are active again and currently planning a third album.{{cite web | url = https://twitter.com/trvsbrkr/status/7287434312 | archive-url = https://archive.today/20120730012325/http://twitter.com/trvsbrkr/status/7287434312 | url-status = dead | archive-date = July 30, 2012 | title = Get ready for new TRAN$PLANT$ music | publisher = Twitter | date = January 1, 2010 | access-date = January 13, 2010}} As of 2021, it has indeed been released.

Aston sang on the track "Red Hot Moon" about his sister, from Rancid's Indestructible album and participated in the music video. Aston also credited as additional background vocalist for Death by Stereo's third album Into the Valley of Death and Travis Barker & Yelawolf's collaborative EP Psycho White. In 2006 Aston has made extra performance in stop motion-animated, musical independent film directed by John Roecker "Live Freaky! Die Freaky!".
