The hip-hop/punk fusion group Codefendants have a unique origin. Get Dead graffiti crew member Sam King was tattooing to raise money to assist incarcerated rapper Ceschi Ramos whom he was a fan of. After Ramos was released he finally met King at a legendary punk venue, the Gilman Street Project in Berkeley, California. A shared appreciation for hip-hop, punk rock, and Jameson whisky bonded the pair.

The Meffs are a punk duo from Great Britain that has exploded onto the scene with great fury. Their passionate embrace of radical politics and high-octane live shows have brought the British punk scene back to its roots. The duo consists of Lily on vocals and guitar and Lewis on drums and backing vocals. Together these two pack a powerful punch to the gut.

Legendary ska band Fishbone is back and more complete than they have been in years. Fishbone has returned with a new song and appearance on a compilation album featuring the group alongside a new generation of punks. Bottles To The Ground, the new indie imprint from punk rock impresario Fat Mike has released its first compilation titled Bottle Music For Broken People. Along with Fishbone, the album has contributions from Codefendants, Melvinator, The Meffs, The Skints, and more.
