News updates for Militarie Gun
Militarie Gun announce new LP "God Save The Gun" along with latest single "B A D I D EA"
Militarie Gun is set to release their new album "God Save The Gun" on October 17, 2025, via Loma Vista Recordings. The album serves as a follow up to one of our favorite albums of 2023 "Life Under The Gun" and is said to explore themes of self-destruction and self-belief, with a lineup of collaborators including James Goodson (Dazy), Nick Panella (MSPAINT) among others contributing to its creation. Alongside the album announcement, Militarie Gun share the lead single “B A D I D E A”, an upbeat hook laden ripper, which aired on Apple Music’s New Music Daily Radio with Zane Lowe, where vocalist and primary songwriter Ian Shelton joined Lowe on air to speak about the new song. The new single and video can be streamed below.
Speaking about “B A D I D E A” and the music video, Shelton shares, “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. This was the most technically challenging video we’ve ever done, and it only fits a song spelling out the words ‘bad idea.’”
The album will contain 14 brand new tracks, including previously released single "Thought You Were Waving". And where "Life Under the Gun" was centered heavily on family addiction, the new album is said to reflect more on vocalist Ian Shelton's personal struggles and growth. Expect a high energy, massive sounding, genre bending album that will ignite the mosh pits, and with hooks that are sure to get stuck in your head for days.
