Codefendants, the punk trio consisting of Sam King (Get Dead), Julio “Ceschi” Ramos, and NOFX mastermind and producer Fat Mike, have released “Lonely Life,” the second single off of their upcoming new album LIFERS. The trio teamed up with Sublime’s Jakob Nowell, who stars in the high-energy music video, following a storyline that depicts the alienation that many feel in modern society. Fans can pre-order the new Codefendants album “LIFERS” here.
“Lonely Life is my favorite song on the album because it was one of the most beautiful collaborations between all members. This song is a fucken roller coaster ride with no seat belt or safety bars!” – Fat Mike
“For me, these lyrics are about the alienation many of us feel in modern society, even as we’re more connected than ever through social media. There’s a sense of entrapment in a world where we’re constantly bombarded by noise—advertisements, countless celebrities, the beautiful, the grotesque. It’s a world where we’re almost forced to co-star in a performance, where even the political elite are bad actors in an exaggerated, seemingly never-ending spectacle. The louder, brighter, and more ever-present that spectacle becomes, the more our very existence is commodified—and the more we lose ourselves, and our humanity, in the process. That’s the loneliness I’m touching on here.” – Julio “Ceschi” Ramos
“I know Fat Mike but I hadn’t met the other CODEFENDANTS guys yet. I went in watching my back. I came out knowing who had it.” – Jakob Nowell
Codefendants recently teamed up with hip hop legend The D.O.C. on the track “Rivals,” out now. The D.O.C. is known for his frequent collaborations and songwriting for N.W.A, Snoop Dogg, and Dr. Dre, with credits on Dre’s first album The Chronic. “Rivals” marks the second collaboration between Codefendants and The D.O.C., following their 2023 single “Fast Ones” off of the debut album, THIS IS CRIMEWAVE.
2026 will be a monstrous year for the punk trio as they gear up to release their sophomore studio album, LIFERS, on April 3rd and continue to tour around the world. Dates listed below.
