They bonded, talking about their love of hip-hop and punk rock, over a bottle of Jameson. 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, so they enlisted Fat Mike and Baz the Frenchman to make a completely genre-fluid album; a cross between hip hop, new-wave, flamenco, and the Beatles. They call the sound ‘Crime Wave.’ Their videos can be seen on YouTube… at least the ones that weren’t banned.
Their new short film is available at thisiscrimewave.com and is made up of the five music videos; featuring the legendary rapper The DOC, N8NOFACE, 2Mex, and Stacey Dee from Bad Cop / Bad Cop
