Militarie Gun are a truly uncategorizable band. Vocalist Ian Shelton's debut album, Life Under The Gun, is the result of a lifetime of experience and effort and features 12 tracks that combine the unbridled aggression of hardcore with massive hooks and plenty of personality. Throughout the album, Militarie Gun demonstrates their mastery of melody and harshness as Shelton interrogates a lifetime of interpersonal relationships through a blunt, insightful and self-aware lens. Very catchy tracks like "Do It Faster" and "Very High" look at his challenging upbringing with an adult perspective.

The album closes with the anthemic title track, in which Shelton sings the closing refrain "a life of pursuit ends up pursuing you" like an urgent reminder to himself: move forward or be swallowed up - your past may shape you, but it doesn't have to define you. The song's final, lone chord sounds like a question, a fittingly hopeful yet unequivocal ending for the debut album of a band that has come so far and developed so much - but whose story has only just begun.
