Our 2021 Band To Watch Militarie Gun had a big year with the release of their invigorating debut Life Under The Gun, which packed enough infectious mayhem to be our Album Of The Week. Today, they’re sharing new versions of two tracks from that album with “Very High (Under The Sun)” and “Never Fucked Up Twice.”
“Never Fucked Up Once” is a headbanging, fist-pumping post-hardcore anthem all the way through; for “Never Fucked Up Twice,” they recruited Bully’s Alicia Bognanno (who released Lucky For You in May, which was also given our Album Of The Week honor) and transformed it into a pretty ballad. Similarly, “Very High (Under The Sun)” watches the band discard of loud amps and shouts for acoustic guitar and soft vocals.
Militarie Gun also just announced a massive headlining tour with Pool Kids and Spiritual Cramp. Below, listen to both of the new tracks and check out their tour dates.
