SUPPORTING WHITE REAPER ON NORTH AMERICAN TOUR NEXT MONTH AND PERFORMING AT SXSW

SHOW IN TORONTO ON MARCH 14

Toronto, ON – February 21, 2023 – Los Angeles' Militarie Gun share new single, Do It Faster, which serves as the first taste of the band's as-yet-unannounced forthcoming debut album. Packed with punchy guitars and catchy vocal melodies from vocalist Ian Shelton, Do It Faster is accompanied by a video directed by Shelton and edited by band member Will Acuña. In the video, the band dons matching sweatsuits and performs on a spinning stage as their coach, played by Acuña, fittingly yells at the band to do it faster.

Speaking about the song, Shelton states: "It is about my overall impatience with life. The agonizing wait for things to materialize... so before resigning to do it myself, I’m imploring the world to just move faster.”

Next month, Militarie Gun will bring their live show across North America as they support White Reaper on tour for 14 shows beginning in Denver on March 2 and wrapping up in Louisville on March 25th. During that run, Militarie Gun will hit SXSW from March 15 to 18, as well as an assortment of recently announced headline dates, with a show in Toronto on March 14. Tickets are available here.

Do It Faster follows last year's All Roads Lead to the Gun (Deluxe), which Pitchfork described as "melodic post-hardcore done right" while Stereogum calledtheir debut EP My Life Is Over “ferocious, hugely impressive." Formed in 2020, Militarie Gun is defined by the musical restlessness of vocalist Shelton. The band–whose lineup includes guitarists Nick Cogan and Acuña, drummer Vince Nguyen, and Waylon Trim –drawon a wide range of influences to make something that sounds combative yet accessible, and undeniably their own. Militarie Gun’s songs are instantly memorable and uncategorizable. With echoes of the unhinged guitarwork of Born Against, the propulsive cadences of hip hop, the up-front bass of Fugazi – and most importantly, the hooks, Militarie Gun employs a melodic sensibility that is just as informed by the work of Robert Pollard and Paul McCartney as it is by Black Flag. Check out Do It Faster above, see full Militarie Gun tour routing below, and stay tuned for more music from Militarie Gun coming very soon.
