Marshall and Zebulon champion LA’s music community

All year long, Marshall has been championing independent venues and emerging artists through a special series of shows at Zebulon, one of Los Angeles’ most beloved, community-driven spaces. With a focus on uplifting the city’s vibrant indie scene, Marshall’s initiative has centered on creating accessible, authentic experiences — hosting free shows and donating backline gear to support venues that remain free from corporate ownership.

The most recent event marked the final chapter in this year’s series and doubled as a celebration of Spiritual Cramp’s new album RUDE — and of all things that encapsulate California’s longstanding punk music scenes, and the communities that have kept them going. The night also encapsulated the spirit of Marshall’s mission as a brand: amplifying grassroots creativity and preserving the fiercely independent spaces where it thrives. 

Over five hundred people crowded into the mostly outdoor venue, in spite of the rain, to catch local post-hardcore outfit Death Lens and Denver’s Public Opinion, and hear Spiritual Cramp live debut tracks off their brand-new, reggae-infused punk album. AltPress joined in to help tell the story — highlighting the lasting impact of Marshall’s work in keeping independent creative spaces in LA and beyond alive, and electric.
