Reviews and Comments
Today, Los Angeles' Militarie Gun kicks off 2024 with the announcement of a new EP Life Under The Sun, which will arrive this Friday, January 26th via Loma Vista Recordings. Life Under The Sun strips back a selection of songs from Militarie Gun’s breakout debut album Life Under The Gun, which was released last summer, putting Ian Shelton’s intensely personal songwriting center stage. Along with the previously shared singles "Never Fucked Up Twice" featuring Bully's Alicia Bognanno and "Very High (Under The Sun)," the forthcoming EP will include the new single "My Friends Are Having A Hard Time" featuring Manchester Orchestra, arriving today with a visualizer directed by Isaac Deitz featuring Shelton and Manchester Orchestra's Andy Hull. Additionally, Life Under The Sun will feature Mannequin Pussy on a new version of "Will Logic" and include a cover of the NOFX track "Whoops I OD'd."
The EP arrives as Militarie Gun prepares to kick off their headline North American tour next week that will see the band play 31 dates across the country before wrapping on March 9th. Support for the North American tour will be Pool Kids and Spiritual Cramp with Death Lens, Spaced, and Roman Candle on select dates. Tickets are available HERE. Militarie Gun will also be performing at Coachella, LDB Fest, Welcome To Rockville, Sonic Temple Festival, Primavera Sound, and Bonnaroo this year in addition to their headlining shows. See details for all upcoming Militarie Gun shows and ticket information at militariegun.com.
Life Under The Gun has proven to be one of 2023's most celebrated albums, released to praise from the likes of Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, NME, Revolver, Stereogum, SPIN, Paste, The FADER, and more. The album landed on multiple best albums of 2023 lists including Alternative Press, The Ringer, UPROXX, Stereogum and Rolling Stone, who said Life Under The Gun has "taken everything that’s uniquely cathartic about the hardcore and lacquered it with insanely catchy melodies." That catchiness has been on full display on TV over the past few weeks as Taco Bell has rolled out their new ad campaign that prominently features Life Under The Gun's "Do It Faster."
