Codefendants will be playing at the North Park Observatory in San Diego, CA with Agent 51, TSOL, Quel Borden!, Authentic Sellout and Roundeye. All ages show.

TSOL (True Sounds of Liberty) is a seminal Southern California punk band that emerged in the early 1980s. Known for their dark, aggressive early hardcore sound and later evolution into deathrock and gothic-tinged punk, TSOL became one of the most influential bands of the West Coast scene. Their music blends political anger, horror imagery, and raw punk energy, earning them a lasting legacy across punk, hardcore, and alternative subcultures—especially strong throughout Southern California, including San Diego’s punk community.

Codefendants are a modern punk supergroup with strong ties to the Southern California and San Diego punk scenes, blending hardcore punk, hip-hop, and street-level storytelling. Known for their confrontational lyrics, genre-crossing sound, and unapologetic attitude, the band tackles themes of class struggle, addiction, politics, and survival. Codefendants represent a newer wave of punk that pushes beyond traditional boundaries while staying rooted in DIY ethics and underground culture.
