{"product_id":"lifers","title":"Lifers","description":"\u003cp\u003eCodefendants’ Lifers is the second full-length by the genre-smashing trio of Fat Mike, Get Dead’s Sam King, and rapper-producer Julio “Ceschi” Ramos. Released in April 2026, the 11-track album deepens the group’s self-described “crimewave” sound: punk and hardcore collide with hip-hop, ska, folk, electronica, emo, nu-metal, and occasional dance or Latin rhythms. The record is deliberately erratic in its sequencing, beginning with the piano-led “What You Get,” shifting into the bass-heavy rap attack of “Rivals” featuring The D.O.C., and moving through abrasive punk, melodic melancholy, and electronic experimentation with no attempt to smooth over the transitions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThematically, Lifers is about survival at the margins—living with addiction, alienation, failure, anxiety, and the long-term consequences of choosing a life outside conventional expectations. “Lonely Life” frames a longing for connection inside a fractured, drum-and-bass-tinged punk song, while “The Fix,” “Bad Business,” “Right Wrong Man,” “Crime Wave,” and “Ditch the Party” balance dark humor and confrontational politics with personal vulnerability. Produced by Fat Mike, the album is sharp, heavy, and self-aware rather than polished or unified in the conventional sense; its strength lies in treating stylistic contradiction as part of its emotional truth. Lifers is a record for listeners who appreciate punk’s disorderly energy but want it complicated by rap cadence, outsider storytelling, and a willingness to make discomfort sound strangely communal.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Record Store","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl \/ Album","offer_id":54130477072698,"sku":"39929","price":32.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/2041\/0682\/files\/Screenshot_2026-09-25_at_3.03.43_PM.jpg?v=1790363231","url":"https:\/\/recordstore.ca\/products\/lifers","provider":"Record Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
