Codefendants

Berkeley, CA · 2021–present · active

Codefendants are the genre-fluid supergroup of NOFX's Fat Mike, Get Dead vocalist Sam King, and rapper Ceschi Ramos, formed in Berkeley, California in 2021. The trio mashes punk rock, hip-hop, flamenco, and new wave into what they call 'crime wave,' a sound designed to defy every expectation. Their debut on Fat Wreck Chords showcases three artists from different musical worlds finding common ground in chaos and experimentation.

Slay Squad

Rialto, CA · 2018–present · active

Rialto, California's Slay Squad pioneered what they call 'ghetto metal' — an explosive collision of deathcore brutality, skate punk energy, and trap-influenced hip-hop that defies conventional genre boundaries. Their San Bernardino County collective delivers savage beatdowns and guttural screams alongside trap beats, earning them slots alongside Dying Fetus and Suicide Silence on major metal tours.
