Reviews and Comments
hardcore punk straight from the heart
With their uber-melodic songs, the West Coast rockers are the standout new band of the current hardcore punk scene
Militarie Gun’s melodic influences emerge on Life Under The Gun
Following the runaway success of Turnstile, there has been a growing degree of interest in bands combining the power and energy of hardcore punk with the melodic, earworm qualities of alternative rock
On Life Under The Gun, Militarie Gun has not only produced one of the albums of the year but has categorically shown that they have a great deal to offer moving forward. Whether you call it hardcore, alternative or even indie, the tag doesn’t matter, this is one of the best albums I’ve heard in a long time.
Life Under The Gun is a sonic escape. It is modern guitar music at its finest. A total triumph.

Three years ago, Militarie Gun wasn’t a band. It was an idea. Within hardcore circles, Ian Shelton was known as the singer, drummer, and sole constant member of Regional Justice Center, another band that started out as an idea. Shelton’s brother, charged with assault, had been sent to prison at 18, and Shelton named RJC after the facility where his brother was incarcerated. Shelton wrote fast, jarring, pummeling songs, and his brother sometimes chipped in with lyrics from behind bars.
