Artist description It's hard to put a label on the Codependents. Pop-punk/ska is probably the best fit, but whatever you want to call it, it's fast and it's fun, with high-energy live performances. The sound is characterized by rapid-fire, melodic guitar riffs over a groundwork of solid bass & drums, with sax thrown in at appropriate junctures for depth and flavor. Lyrics cover the usual and not-so-usual punk fare: girlfriends, ex-girlfriends, comics, man vs. the world, and more.
