Militarie Gun by Jaxon Whittington
CURATED BY POST MALONE
“GUN UNDER THE GUN (MFG)” OUT NOW
UPCOMING PERFORMANCES IN AUSTRALIA, EUROPE AND ACROSS NORTH AMERICA
HEADLINE LOS ANGELES SHOW ON JULY 25TH AT EL REY THEATRE
On the heels of the one year anniversary of their debut album Life Under The Gun, Los Angeles’ Militarie Gun shares their new song “Gun Under The Gun (MFG),” which was created for the new WWE 2K24 video game for Post Malone. Heavy and menacing, “Gun Under The Gun (MFG)” is used when Post Malone’s wrestling character enters the ring and features the iconic Militarie Gun “OOH OOH.” Additionally, Militarie Gun’s “Do It Faster” is included on the WWE 2K24 soundtrack curated by Post Malone.
Following their support dates with A Day To Remember, Militarie Gun continues to traverse the globe through the end of the year, which includes their highly anticipated headline hometown show in Los Angeles on July 25th with support from Gouge Away, Heart to Gold, and Human Garbage. The band will also perform at various festivals, including Lollapalooza, Project Pabst, Thing Festival, Reading & Leeds, Louder Than Life, Aftershock, and more, this year. Additionally, Militarie Gun heads to Austrailia tomorrow to begin a string of shows with Hockey Dad along with headline plays ahead of their headline European tour dates with Lip Critic, Pluto The Racer, Never Yours, Chiefland, daysdaysdays, and Tripsun on select dates. This September, Militarie Gun will join Manchester Orchestra during their 10 year anniversary COPE tour across North America. Tickets for all of Militarie Gun’s upcoming live dates can be found below.
Earlier this year, Militarie Gun released their mini-documentary Live Under The Sun, which sees the band and a host of their Life Under The Sun EP collaborators reunite at Manchester Orchestra’s Atlanta studio to further reimagine the tracks featured on their aforementioned EP, with guest performances from Manchester Orchestra, Marisa Dabice of Mannequin Pussy, and Christine Goodwyne of Pool Kids, who steps in for Alicia Bognanno of Bully for a performance of “Never Fucked Up Twice.” Live Under The Sun provides a window into the growing community around Militarie Gun while highlighting bandleader Ian Shelton’s dynamic and expectation-defying songwriting.
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. Life Under The Sun includes “Never Fucked Up Twice” featuring Bully’s Alicia Bognanno, “Very High (Under The Sun),” “My Friends Are Having A Hard Time” featuring Manchester Orchestra, “Will Logic” featuring Mannequin Pussy, and the cover of NOFX track “Whoops I OD’d.”
Life Under The Gun was 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 with Taco Bell’s ad campaign that prominently features Life Under The Gun‘s “Do It Faster.”
