Following the recent reveal of “Do It Faster” the band has delivered a second single with “Very High”.
Militarie Gun have finally announced their highly anticipated debut LP! Following up their highly successful EPs, and their most recent single “Do It Faster,” the band has announced Life Under The Gun, due out on June 23rd via Loma Vista.
To celebrate the announcement, the band has revealed a new single, “Very High,” along with a Mason Mercer-directed music video. The track is a mid-tempo romp through their hardcore punk roots filtered through a power pop lens. Highly catchy and energetic, is it a promising taste of the upcoming LP.
“‘Very High’ centers around the desire to escape the embarrassment of day to day life as much as possible,” says vocalist and bandleader Ian Shelton. “From the lyrics, to the video to the cover art of the album, it’s about struggling with something no one else sees, ‘I’ve been feeling very down, so I get very high.'”
Making everything bigger and catchier than ever before, Life Under The Gun marks a grand progression for the band’s career. “This is what I thought we sounded like all along,” Shelton elaborates. “It’s always felt like a melody-forward band to me, but I think now we’re finally achieving what I was always setting out to do.”
Life Under The Gun is due Out June 23rd via Loma Vista. Pre-orders are available HERE.
