Militarie Gun

About

Militarie Gun is a Los Angeles-based alternative rock and melodic hardcore band formed in 2020 by vocalist Ian Shelton, initially as a solo project during the COVID-19 lockdowns. The five-piece - rounded out by William Acuña, Kevin Kiley, Waylon Trim, and David Stalsworth - signed to Loma Vista Recordings and broke through with their debut album Life Under the Gun (2023), which blended hardcore aggression with sharp pop hooks. Their 2025 follow-up God Save the Gun pushed the sound further, drawing on 90s indie and post-hardcore influences while Shelton laid bare a period of personal crisis and addiction.
