Militarie Gun is an American rock band from Los Angeles, California. The group has released four extended plays and one full length, Life Under the Gun , released on June 23, 2023.
History
[edit ]Frontman Ian Shelton formed Militarie Gun in the spring of 2020, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and his other band, Regional Justice Center, having to be put on hold.[1] Shelton decided to write and record an EP, My Life Is Over, which was released in September of that year.[1] [2] After releasing the EP, Shelton expanded the project to include Nick Cogan and William Acuña on guitar, Max Epstein on bass, and Vince Nguyen on drums.[1]
Militarie Gun released their second EP in June 2021 titled All Roads Lead to the Gun, and their third EP All Roads Lead to the Gun II in September 2021.[3] A deluxe edition combining the two EPs was released in 2022.[4] In 2023, Militarie Gun released a new song titled "Do It Faster." [5] The band released a music video alongside the new song, which featured Will Acuña in his acting debut - for some reason, as "Angry (but lovable) Coach."[6]
The band released their debut album, Life Under the Gun , on June 23, 2023 through Loma Vista Recordings.[7]
