Militarie Gun have announced their sophomore studio album titled ‘God Save the Gun’ out on October 17th via Loma Vista. The announcement follows the release of their energetic new single ‘B A D I D E A’ with accompanying music video, directed by frontman Ian Shelton.
“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 shared. “This was the most technically challenging video we’ve ever done and it only fits a song spelling out the words ‘bad idea.’”
“I’m well aware that being this vulnerable turns my personal trauma into a marketing hook for this album,” Shelton adds. “But I’m fine with it, if not provoking it. Over the past couple years, as I spoke about addiction from the perspective of someone affected by it, I became the one struggling with it. There’s a farcical logic to entering a situation, fully knowing the consequences, and doing it anyway — but that’s where my head was when I started leaning on drinking.”
