Codefendants

Get Dead vocalist Sam King’s graffiti crew were giving tattoos and making flash art to raise money to help rapper Ceschi Ramos when he was in prison. Months later they met at the Gilman Street Project in Berkeley, California. 
 
They bonded, talking about their love of hip-hop and punk rock. They didn’t know it yet, but they had just started Codefendants. 
 
Impossible to define by traditional standards, Codefendants were forged out of a desire to make an album that sounded like nothing else while still capturing the feeling of music they admired as kids growing up in the Bay Area. 
 
Fat Mike, bassist of NoFX and punk hero was floored when he heard the first three demos and joined the project as lead producer, studio bassist & additional songwriter.
 
In 2023 This Is Crime Wave was voted Punk Rock Vinyl album of the year, publications such as Kerrang, Dying Scene, Outburn & New Noise Magazine have praised it. 

 

Chris Conde

Since 2010, multi-instrumentalist, producer and rapper, Chris Conde has been actively playing shows across the United States. He has been featured at major music events and festivals like Maverick Music Festival in San Antonio, G.I.A.N.T. Fest in Brooklyn, Blow Pony in Portland and Stargayzer in Austin.
 
Conde has also served as direct support for well-known touring acts and indie rappers including LCD Soundsystem, Circa Survive, Cupcakke, Big Freedia, Sno Tha Product, Tha Alkaholiks, Lupe Fiasco, Bushwick Bill, Sage Francis, Grieves, Sadistik, Sole, Grayskul, Rory Ferrira, Sims, Shreddders (Doomtree), Busdriver, Ceschi, Sammus, Armand Hammer, MC Chris and Jonwayne to name a few.
 
On December, 6 2019 Fake Four Inc. Released Conde Digital a five song EP produced entirely by Moodie Black, which is available via Fake Four’s Bandcamp page as well as all streaming sites including Spotify, iTunes, Deezer, etc.
 
Ultimately, Conde’s goal is to communicate through music his journey; the pitfalls, relapses, homelessness and self acceptance as a queer person so that his listeners might connect with the universal theme of hope.
 
Conde’s work in the LGBTQ community has led him to start an all-LGBTQ performance showcase called Queers & Beers in 2015, which features performers from multiple genres of music. He also founded the very first LGBTQ music radio show in San Antonio called Queer Vibes on KRTU 91.7 FM the following year, which still runs from 11pm-Midnight every Sunday and features local, national and international music from the LGBTQ community.
