Codefendants is the trio of Fat Mike (of NOFX), Sam King (of Get Dead), and rapper Ceschi, and while Mike usually takes more of a songwriting/instrumentation/production role, he and his bandmates all share vocal duties on their new single, ‘Right Wrong Man.’

‘This song came to life while we were all living under one roof in Las Vegas,’ says Ceschi. ‘We were each nursing our own heartbreaks. The line ‘the right wrong man for you’ started as a Fat Mike punchline, and we built it out from there—about being self-saboteurs, ghosters, and unreliable lovers. We all wish it were more fictional.’

It’s the band’s first new song in over a year, and it’s a fine example of the kind of punk/reggae/hip hop hybrid that’s become this trio’s calling card.

The day has finally arrived when we can unleash a new song and video from MakeWar! “Not Today” is a rallying cry for those when life gets super tough and staying positive feels impossible. It’s the type of song meant to be performed live and with friends screaming at the top of their lungs, celebrating togetherness. If you’re traveling to Gainesville, FL, for FEST, you can hear this beast in the flesh! If you haven’t been growing your beard out for this event, you can watch the video or stream the song on any digital platform! Next, get the lowdown of what the song is about from vocalist and guitarist Jose Prieto below:

‘Not Today’ serves as an anthem for those times when life becomes overwhelmingly daunting, and hope appears distant. It serves as a reminder that even during our bleakest moments, we can nurture a spark to ignite a fire, providing comfort and empowerment. ‘Not Today’ reminds us that we are all loved, strong, and united as we sing together for ourselves and for all our friends who left us too soon.
