HardLore: Braxton Marcellous (ZULU)

[@tylerdanger35]

This dude was going so hard for EVERY set at S&F

[@bobunitone]

If Zulu is on the bill, you can count on Braxton being in the pit

[@MattyMourner]

Colin really is Hardwuar lol

[@brentericson7447]

Wearing sunglasses the entire interview is a crazy power move

[@silviospizzeria]

I was in a NJHC band called MVA, and Braxton helped us get our first west coast shows. I ended up moving to CA shortly after. Fast forward, I ended up doing a bunch of artwork for Drain. Kinda feel like Braxton got my foot in the door to the CA scene which may have helped haha Funny enough, I did the art for Evil Finds Light, which Braxton and Colin are both in 😂 crazy to hear that was the day you guys met.

[@J03LT3H]

Love this. Longer than every Zulu set ever played combined.

[@jotaemept99]

I'll admit as kid that grew up in one of the roughest neighborhoods of the Lisbon metro area in Portugal back in the 2000s, CM Punk was my introduction to the Straight Edge movement. I remember writing the "X" and "DRUG FREE" on my hands back in 5th and 6th grade. My 11yo dumbass really thought it was the coolest shit ever smh!😭 Fast forward to 2014 I officially became Straight Edge. But only during the pandemic that I dug deeper to the SXE movement and started listening to bands like Earth Crisis, Throwdown, Magnitude, XweaponX, Eighteen Visions, Bleeding Through (I don't think they count as SXE anymore). Love them all no matter what. As of today, as a 25 year old adult I'm proud to say CM Punk was a huge influence when it comes to Straight Edge and wrestling. Proud to consider myself as one. Also as someone that is the only SXE among my friends, I don't affiliate to the so called "hardliners" that go out there spread negativity. Coexistence is everything in this life no matter our differences.

[@notreally-sf3df]

You were "officially edge" for 6+ years before you knew anything about the music?

[@frankgt5004]

@@notreally-sf3dfpretty much because CM Punk was a major influence on everyone and my youth

[@coldghost47]

Portugal crl!

[@Hi5greenboxx]

Everyone in ZULU are some of the nicest dudes I’ve ever had the chance of meet.

[@Krusade36]

The Nick Cannon lore went crazy

[@Jorgetime]

New found respect for this guy, the dude went in 75 tangents about the music he loved.

[@LILDIRTNAPX]

dude is a time traveler. he's moshing in every video of every set in every city somehow

[@scrimmybingus1118]

Lore: Hard Coke: Diet i'm locked in

[@imvengeance666]

Coke Zero, locked in

[@clabbert7694]

got the opportunity to talk to this dude last night after their set in foco. extremely chill guy, we just talked about grind and powerviolence for a bit. he also showed a lot of appreciation for the local bands which opened for them, as did the rest of the folks in zulu. very good dude with an unrivaled guitar tone

[@scottgajewski3925]

Braxton is one of the coolest, down to earth dudes ever! I can talk to him for hours about glam metal!

[@SkyyDwellerr]

Colin saying “real eater” in multiple episodes now is so funny to me. I’d like to think he doesn’t know the other usage, but it makes me laugh every time.

[@Landlord0fTheFilthy]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@heartgodmedia]

So refreshing to see someone who loves everything ! My people!

[@alrightbro]

My homies Game of Life opened up for Zulu at the Santa Cruz Vets Hall and I was moshing next to Braxton in the front left of the stage. Hella fun night

[@scattaredlight]

Unreal episode! Thank you!🖤

[@Turbojugend76]

Such a great episode. Great to hear Braxton's knowledge on music - it's extensive!! Love the influences. Saw ZULU recently on Flatspot World Tour in London, UK and they killed it!!

[@sgtbucksauce9129]

from 2001-2005 i was obsessed with street punk too. Lower class brats, global threat, wednesday night heroes, blanks 77. Then on to Crossover DRI, Municipal waste, Havoc, Beyond possession, The accused.

[@daitanfilms]

The happiest and nicest guy to bump into, also I was so happy when Fury got mentioned. He noticed I was wearing a Fury shirt in Birmingham (UK) before they played and proceeded to play nearly every song from Paramount on guitar.

[@artripoli]

Bo's camera autofocus is having a seizure

[@wheaty39]

Really would’ve never predicted this guy was in over 450 bands

[@chris1591]

Shout out to the core kids who know what’s up with street punk. Ultimate tour was Bane, A Global Threat and Strike Anywhere perfect combo.

[@M3tal_matt]

Hardest pod on youtube 🔥

[@ClashJ666]

I was at Raw this week, seeing CM punk live for the first time was an amazing experience

[@Supermasterchief]

Thanks for the Juan shout out in the beginning 😊

[@aonghasshearer-boyd6617]

Man! I relate to Braxton so hard about not knowing what hardcore properly was. I remember (at the time) hating hating on most core music, then at the same time, seeing Madball on TV an thinking "this metal band is sick"! 😆 SO glad I figured it all out.

[@squarethebear]

This the freshest dude in hardcore ong

[@ThePhantomnaut]

The glam talk is cool af.

[@krisfultz7212]

Fire in the Sky also created an unnecessary fear of aliens that torments me to this day. Thank you Signs for reigniting that fear, over again

[@barncoreben]

I was sold on Zulu first listen of "ANT." Going into it not expecting Nina Simone next to raging pv/core shit and then ending with fuckin a capella "small axe," a casual listen turned into a genuinely moving piece of music quickly. Braxton and Zulu are gonna be just fine. When you bring that level of dopeness into the world I believe you become a gorgeous goose that's eternally glazed

[@camoflagueobituaryhat]

Love this ep so much! But lol at colin going joe rogan and imagining an "extreme left" that hates the abolish shirt😂

[@KMKimo]

Such a nice guy, in europe he was sound checking and just looks into the crowd and compliments fan's shirts

[@Phantomlimbmemoirs]

A GLOBAL THREAT first band mentioned? Mad respect

[@jakeleach5661]

Seriously one of my favorite episodes. Glam, wrestling…fuck yeah

[@shroomsandmetal]

Been waiting for a Zulu episode LETS GO!!!

[@pocketsandz5080]

Bo's camera focusing in and out at the beginning is what it feels like to drink too much Nyquil

[@Andrewthebowlripperr]

BrOkE EdGE

[@magnumpineapple277]

A Global Threat mentioned!!!! Braxton is the fucking MAN. One of the best episodes yet.

[@maxheilman5314]

Love that he’s genuinely a glam head

[@dillondruggz]

I just got to the wrestling discussion and I'm already like "this is the best episode of Hardlore ever."

[@cmrdjn464]

As someone who unfortunately lives in the IE this is the most incredible episode of Hardlore I've seen. We're basically the same person and it's so fucking weird

[@jake_villanueva]

The king 👑

[@planet1416]

Iowan here, can confirm the quad cities are real. Played there a few times. Shout out to the boys in Phantom Threat.

[@mluna1271]

I played a few shows with Braxton in LA when he jammed with his other band Shred Bundy, dude is rad asf

[@rayxiv974]

Braxton the coolest. Shoutout to Bonner house. Solid place to see and play shows.

[@spencercarson3789]

YOOOOOO BIGGUP ZULU THIS IS FUCKIN SWEET HELL YES

[@twostepdoll]

I never thought Wildomar would be mentioned on Hardlore hell yea

[@kevxxxedge]

I already liked Zulu, but man, they even gained more respect because of this cool interview. Thank you.

[@jfunkytown2625]

The people need HardloreFest!

[@yazoo55]

Gotta be the heavyweight champ on the "glazing" and "lit" count, and he's gonna be tough to beat 😂

[@888FISH888]

[@Burgergood87]

Hemet mentioned 🎉

[@MrGimmix81]

AIC mention ❤ one of my favorite none hc bands !

[@duncanmclean5133]

You guys should get entertaining guests every episode.

[@xavierrios388]

Colin, Journey not having a better song than Living on a Prayer is WILD. Not a chance

[@MazChuga]

SOAD was my gateway to metal. Then, 20 years later, I find hc. I've said it a million times, hc saved my life.

[@madeinmesa]

2:00:36 Bo's reaction gets me everytime 🤣🤣

[@anovak0726]

Annihilator shirt goes hard

[@braindeadrichard]

Really sad that no one else said anything about the shirt but you. Annihilator is a great band. Schizo Deluxe is one of my favorite albums. But those first 3 albums. Alice in Hell, Never Neverland, and Set the World on Fire 👌🏻

[@getdrippy4416]

Fuck yes. Zulu out here with classics.

[@BIGxBOSSxx1]

Coolest looking guy in hc and that’s facts

[@Landlord0fTheFilthy]

Solid Anthrax take !!!

[@boofinmid4047]

FINALLY SOME GODSMACK RESPECT

[@CowboyfromHell76]

Bro! Awesome interview! Zulu is the truth! I fully support the abolish white hardcore shirt and everything that came along because of it! As white coreman! We don’t have hardcore without the Bad Brains! But don’t act like you don’t know people would react to the shirt. The shirt was a necessity and was designed to offend people that should be offended. Stand by the shirt fully brother! Needs to be said! Love all y’all just my stupid 2 cents!

[@ezequielcapaceta]

[@jfunkytown2625]

Shoutout Line 6 Spyder!

[@RCScorch]

What does calling someone a “punisher” mean?

[@skimaskanda.45]

Like someone who goes up to a person/band after a show and is so excited to talk to them that its annoying and they talk for too long etc. Its not just for music tho it can really be anything.

[@gerardnadaison8145]

Submitted my like because of the nick cannon story, that fucking got me

[@anthonyletitin]

Shout out to the X-Bar 🗣️

[@momo_brobro]
