Militarie Gun have announced their sophomore studio album: God Save the Gun is out October 17 via Loma Vista. Leading the 14-track LP is 'B A D I D E A.' Watch the single's new music video, directed by bandleader Ian Shelton, below.
'I wanted to make a video that was a celebration of vices, a new iteration of yourself looking back at a moment you made a mistake while never truly reflecting,' Ian Shelton explained. 'This was the most technically challenging video we've ever done and it only fits a song spelling out the words 'bad idea.''
Militarie Gun—a Los Angeles punk band featuring vocalist and primary songwriter Ian Shelton, guitarists William Acuña and Kevin Kiley, bassist Waylon Trim, and drummer David Stalsworth—released their debut, Life Under the Gun, in 2023. They'll head out on tour soon in support of the new album. See the dates below.
