Militarie Gun will be stopping by The 7th Street Entry on Saturday, February 24th as part of their Life Under the Gun Tour.
Militarie Gun are a truly uncategorizable band. Led by vocalist Ian Shelton, the band’s debut full-length, Life Under The Gun, is almost impossible to describe without bouncing between contradictions. Is it abnormally aggressive pop music or is it unusually catchy hardcore? Is it deeply intellectual or is it satisfyingly primal? Is it a vulnerable attempt to unpack lifelong cycles of hurt, or is it a collection of world-beating, absurdist punk anthems? In the end, the answer is obvious: it’s all of it. It’s Militarie Gun.
Fresh off a breakout year that saw the release of their critically-acclaimed debut album Life Under The Gun and near-nonstop touring around the globe, the Los Angeles band sets out on its first full headlining tour since the album’s release. Life Under The Gun has proven to be one of last year’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-the-year lists including Alternative Press, Stereogum and Rolling Stone, who stated it has “taken everything that’s uniquely cathartic about the hardcore and lacquered it with insanely catchy melodies.” Last fall, they brought a taste of the new album to North America on a hugely celebrated tour with Scowl.
Just in case the fact that Militarie Gun is playing isn’t enough to get you out of the house on a Saturday night, let’s add the fact that Pool Kids, Spiritual Cramp, and Spaced are all opening up this show. Talk about a stacked line-up!
