A band is coming to town that’s an explosion of energy, hard-hitting riffs and an unstoppable punk-rap hybrid. Codefendants blur the lines between genres, delivering a raw, honest and socially charged live show that leaves absolutely no room for indifference.
Fat Mike (NOFX) started a new project, joining forces with Sam King (Get Dead) and rapper Julio “Ceschi” Ramos. Three seasoned musicians from the punk and hip-hop worlds, united by a desire to bring together the genres they love—punk (rock) and hip-hop—and enrich them with a whole range of other musical influences.
The result is a unique and seriously hard-to-pin-down sound that moves between hip-hop, new wave, punk rock, electronics, Latin rhythms and plenty more. They’ve dubbed the genre crime wave. The lyrics draw heavily from everyday life, dragging various outsiders and outcasts into the spotlight, along with addiction, war, poverty, twisted political games, loneliness—in other words, the inconvenient fact that life isn’t exactly a piece of cake for everyone.
They may not have been around for all that long, but they’ve quickly made a name for themselves with their uncompromising approach and powerful stage presence. Which means it won’t be long before we get our chance to get blown away on the sunny side of the Alps as well!
