Following a live session for Dan P Carter on the Radio 1 Rock Show last night, Los Angeles' Militarie Gun today share "Will Logic," the third offering from their forthcoming debut album "Life Under The Gun" out June 23rd via Loma Vista Recordings, showcasing a new side to the band's sound compared to previous singles.
Speaking about the new track vocalist Ian Shelton says: “'Will Logic' is meant to be pure spite, it’s the moment of realisation that someone is trying to take advantage of you and deciding you won’t allow it to happen. There’s some melancholy and fatigue in there, though ultimately it’s a desire for the world to be trustworthy.”
"Life Under The Gun" will include the previously-released singles "Do It Faster," which arrived with a video directed by Shelton and "Very High," which arrived with a Mason Mercer-directed music video emulating early 2000s teen drama intros.
Following their heavily lauded first performances in the UK last year with Fiddlehead and an incendiary set fueled by stage invasions at Outbreak in Manchester, the band were over last week for packed shows at The George Tavern and Great Escape, each performance a further demonstration of a band on a real ascent.
Before US dates with Scowl later in the year, Militarie Gun return to Europe in the summer to perform at multiple festivals, namely a second successive year at Outbreak, Kliko, Roskilde, Metropolis, 2000 Trees, Ieper, an instore and signing at Rough Trade and to support post-hardcore luminaries Rival Schools, including their London headliner at Electric Ballroom.
