CODEFENDANTS - EUROPE 2026

Codefendants are a cross-genre punk collective that fuses alternative, hip-hop and rock to create a sound they call "Crimewave". Formed by Fat Mike (NOFX), Julio "Ceschi" Ramos and Sam King (Get Dead), the band combines raw punk aggression with sharp-witted
lyricism, black humor and the honesty of the street. The Codefendants - three dangerous bastards with criminal records and musical ambitions - hit like a Molotov cocktail through the window of an industry built on lip-syncers and safe bets.
Meet your suspects: Sam King, a punk rock veteran with tattooed fists and scars from a thousand wrong turns, and Julio "Ceschi" Ramos, a poet, ex-convict and underground hip-hop spirit who once sold weed to pay the rent in a world that charged interest on dreams. Both hailing from the chaos of the Bay Area, they met in the hallowed, graffiti-covered walls of 924 Gilman St. - a punk rock church with no pews and plenty of sinners.
Both had extensive rap sheets - felonies, court dates and enough bad decisions to fill a Netflix documentary series. Fat Mike, on the other hand, once spent 24 hours in Disneyland jail for causing a riot - hardly hard-boiled, but criminal enough for punk rock references. It
was a bond made in legal hell, but the chemistry was undeniable.
