HardLore: A Day with Anthony Anzaldo (CEREMONY)

Colin and Bo explore Los Angeles, California with Anthony Anzaldo of Ceremony, Cold Cave, and new solo project ANTHONY, as Bo gets a tattoo from renowned tattoo artist (who just happens to be Anthony's wife) Heather Bailey.
They thoroughly explore Anthony's journey from attending legendary wrestling events as a Bay Area child, discovering punk/hardcore/straight edge as a freshman in high school, Ceremony's early days into their uniquely ever-evolving discography, nearly 20 years of veganism, and MUCH more.
Please enjoy our newest installment of the "A Day With..." series with this 2+ hour adventure to discover why this modern Bay Area hardcore legend planted his roots in Southern California.
Thank you to Anthony for joining us, Heather for hosting us at Holy Union, and Monty's Good Burger for hosting us.

Thursday is the masterkiller of days because of this podcast

[@jbasti227]

It’s scientifically proven

[@joebreakerx]

The whole style of this episode is incredible. Loving the different spots but no drop in the vibe at all

[@CH-ml4rz]

Agreed! Diff locations was really cool

[@sgtbucksauce9129]

Gotta get Davey Havoc on the pod boys. Make it happen!

[@DaveyNavarro]

Havok, James Hart, & Brandan one day!

[@coolmax1625]

watching all of this and Anthony not mentioning the secret Ceremony set at S&F to them at all is so funny to me, such a great episode! One of my favorites in a while.

[@camoflagueobituaryhat]

Ceremony playing sound and fury with the Crass intro was the best shit ever. "You are the ultimate pornography in your cuntfear, cockfear, manfear, womanfear, unfair, warfare, warfare, warfare, warfare, warfare, warfare, warfare, warfare! Jesus died for his own sins, not mine!" into Kersed.

[@brianbonilla6913]

The kids trying to jump from the balcony area. Set lives in my brain.

[@hannahkozlovic1715]

I gotta say, these hangout in the hometown style videos are probably my favourite format on this show. It’s just such a cool way to add another dimension to the usual podcast questions. Also as a youtube watcher, and usual non-podcast listener, I like the visual stuff

[@xksellersx]

Love the travel vlog in person interview style episodes. More like this when it’s possible please!

Gotta see them live

[@MikeyBeee]

When I was in Product of Waste I tried my hardest to play drums like Jake. When I switched to guitar I knew that I wanted to write and perform like Anthony but that tuning was so different. Trying to learn their gosh darn albums in E Standard was so hard.

[@headglue1155]

product of waste was such a killer band! booked you guys in chattanooga back in the day.

[@OfficialErnestCriterion]

POW 4ever

[@nickm1703]

POW FOREVER

[@Carlo.WTF416]

Ayo, is Anthony wearing Rick Owens?! Betcha ass I was moshing in Rick during the first hours of Sound & Fury loll

[@moistboy64]

😂 I feel nervous moshing in my $35 merch, cant imagine moshing in Rick

[@leninxtrotsky]

So when do we get the Davey episode?

[@tombstm]

That bane have heart tour he discusses- Ceremony, Bane, Have Heart played matinee at the Camden underworld in London in 2007. Really my first proper hardcore show- their set was definitely less busy than the other bands but I genuinely feared for my life- people went OFF. I was blown away by people just stomping around and flying into each other with the lead singer shirtless smashing the mic on his head.

[@Subiekev]

This the most hardcore shit ever. Tattoos, ceremony, vegan, straight edge, America baby

[@Ladude5]

Colin ordering ranch and sizing up Bo @1:29:49 is so god damn funny

[@nickslad3164]

Dude’s hilarious 😂

[@nickm1703]

Mentions of both Life Long Tragedy and Set it Straight - THAT IS SOME HARD LORE, BROTHER

[@wakemitch]

The Set It Straight final show at the Phoenix is still my favorite show I have ever been to.

[@Danielfucks69]

my Favourite words & destined for anything all timers@@wakemitch

[@LOUKIDNEY]

Dave Havok when?

[@EvanxBurke]

Loved a lot of the early ceremony shows with Anthony in fishnets, boots, asking if there were any queers in the audience. I vividly remember those early tours with blacklisted and have heart and feeling a shift in the room. Flat brim, Nike dunk kids not know what to do or how to feel.

[@Joshholton1985]

Anthony’s summation of why Hardlore got so much traction in its first year is spot on. It is SO FUN to listen to Hardlore!! It’s a “thing”, a weekly event for us. He just said it so beautifully.

[@mattwright7147]

More tattoo eps! Let’s see CIV or Ian Nolan!

[@dafucksgoinon]

Ian the goat

[@jdm000]

hell yeah

[@nikmorin]

Would love a hauntlore with Mr. Havoc

[@inaciogomez7216]

Is Colin deeply in love with Anthony? The way he looks at him…

[@BigMacUpperCut]

Lana better watch out

[@_arfarf_x]

Colin young a secret asexual icon this whole time????

[@hxcnoel]

Cool to hear the Resilience shout out. They played some very memorable shows in my city in the 2000s. Fury is one of the few street punk style dudes I knew about who was straight edge, which made me feel like less of an outcast ❌️❎️✖️

[@_antisocial__]

TUI and Ceremony were my two favorites in high school this hits harder than I thought it would

[@s0urce.ow0]

Same dude. I once saw Ceremony play in some shitty landscaping company warehouse in South Carolina. One of my favorite memories. Such a good time.

[@jaykjel150]

So glad These Days got mentioned. Back in like, 02?? Hugely popular on the AFI message board and very likely the first hardcore band I heard.

[@najman2741]

Hardlore gym episode. Colin’s gotta put the public onto the routine.

[@willlabuffalo6679]

Disintegration is awesome but I mean “cold” is just cmon

[@eclecticcollector88]

Really solid episode. Look Back and Laugh was one of my favorite bands growing up.

[@MK-vr7gy]

Prince stunted on everyone so hard in the guitar gently weeps solo. Super Bowl purple rain solo in the rain is close second.

The year: 2005. The place: Camp Shelby, MS. The music mindset: There's no possibility that any band is better than System of a Down. 😅 they're still my all time fav. It was a journey from soad, to Green Day, Tool, to Ministry, and then I found hardcore last year. Changed my ufckin 40 year old life. 😂

As a heavily tattooed old head hardcore guy, attending shows in the early 2000s, she is 100% right about aggressive music in the tattoo shop and clients not sitting as well. I always preferred silence, audiobooks or acoustic music when getting tattooed. Another great episode fellas, I'd like to see more than one episode a week though

[@x93tilinfinityx]

Quality over quantity

[@Jordanimal456]

Every episode lately has consistently been the best episode so far.

At 1:12:20 Anthony refers to Leipzig Conne Island, I guess. I remember that tour - it was a dream come to true line up, even from today‘s perspective

[@derekchacon7584]

My favorite episode of Hardlore.

[@gregbaffuto4370]

im a NY guy but got early exposure to Ceremony when they played Seattle in 2006 for Champion's last show weekend. the reaction was nuts, biggest pop was probably when they covered California Uber Alles

[@Proud1Vegan]

"Who do you do". love this one, for me hardcore/ punk has always been inclusive. Till someone always says but.

[@666thsense]

i remember meeting anthony in 2004 while on tour. it was a house show. i wanna say the show was with life long tragedy and these days and it was in redding, but its all a blur. aside from it being almost 20 years ago and me being super sick. all i remember is anthony before ceremony and joe saucedo before set your goals.

[@bitterthings6216]

The varying genres of Ceremony is what make the shows. A few years back they opened with Video into the Red C cover. Amazing energy. Everyone happy.
