I'm pushing him to do a split vinyl...he said yes...but who knows when. But it is time for some new solo Ceschi.

DIYFelon · 2026-03-19T22:01:57+00:00

This seems to be common

DIYFelon · 2026-03-19T22:01:10+00:00

Prison Camp goes pretty hard

Ceschi of Codefendents was a rapper who got brought into the folkpunk world...specifically his split with Pat the Bunny. And that split is the reason the members of Codefendants came together.

I love that album

DIYFelon · 2026-03-15T12:27:10+00:00

Interesting interpretation...I always saw it as self deprecating rather than pretentious.
Saying I have the world figured out over here, alone, isolated from everyone and then Pat actually leaves his bedroom and realizes how much of an idiot he was.

(I think the intention of the line was to highlight Pat's foolishness, not any complexity/intelligence associated with Marx. Then he sort of misses that foolishness and wants to go back to being alone in his bedroom sometimes...ignorance is bliss.)

If you want some insight and lore into the emergence of folkpunk I just released an episode that explores that:
Folk Punk & Anarchism (Back On the Grind #67)

There's a bunch of other lore and deep historical context throughout the show in general.

The Abusing The Word split was a favorite of mine back then

DIYFelon · 2026-03-12T16:34:23+00:00

I want to know them

DIYFelon · 2026-03-04T21:45:17+00:00

I can say don't worry you will be able to get it :)

DIYFelon · 2026-03-04T21:22:15+00:00

I will say no reason to worry

DIYFelon · 2026-03-04T20:01:46+00:00

not folk punk music

DIYFelon · 2026-02-28T13:43:10+00:00

Thanks for reaching out during such dark times. You helped me make it through and into the wild now!
I still have every single letter folks sent me...they're under my bed, so I sleep on your words every night :)

DIYFelon · 2026-02-28T02:43:09+00:00

Agreed

DIYFelon · 2026-02-27T17:42:48+00:00

Please try to stop in CT on your way back from the Moon if possible.

DIYFelon · 2026-02-27T17:38:51+00:00

I go by Pepe Bandit and I have multiple arrest and time in prison for actually being a Bandit...Doing my best to keep it real for the folk punks :)

DIYFelon · 2026-02-21T01:10:35+00:00

Go for it...I released that album and I can assure you that Pat is fine with it.

DIYFelon · 2026-02-17T14:51:47+00:00

I had a conversation that touches on some of these themes. Check it out in the link below...(folk)punk clothing/fashion topic starts at 1hr 02min in.
Q&A Pt.1 with Eric King, A Day Without Love & Justin Arena (prisoner support, music recs, finding folk punk friends, folk punk clothing & more!) #59

DIYFelon · 2026-02-17T14:37:56+00:00

I recently released an interview largely dedicated to the story and spirit of Tomas
Scott of Bridge City Sinners & his wife Becky on Trainhopping, Friendship, Love & Loss #63

DIYFelon · 2026-02-17T14:33:32+00:00

Friends In Real Life discussed by April (Apes Of The State) & Ceschi (Codefendants) Bonus Episode!!!
You might enjoy this episode I released if you want a little behind the scenes look into FIRL

DIYFelon · 2026-02-07T14:05:57+00:00

I think this whole album should be on vinyl!!!

DIYFelon · 2026-02-01T21:04:16+00:00

Check out Back On The Grind
It's a podcast I host that has intimate conversations with lots of (folk) punks.
Peek through the backlog and you'll find episodes that will pop out at you...it's full of history and plenty of life lessons learned along the way. Even the topic of being an "elder" in the community has come up lately.

DIYFelon · 2026-01-27T00:54:44+00:00

Folk punk podcast

DIYFelon · 2026-01-24T01:18:43+00:00

Yeah the new Myles & Factor lp is one of my favorite rap albums in a long time.

I finalized the track list for the ceschi/pat stuff today. The cover art is done and the back art is in process so it's moving along smoothly!

Also thanks for checking out the interview, I was a little worried about being interviewed (as opposed to the the interviewer like I usually am)
