Militarie Gun have dropped their new single 'God Owes Me Money'
The new album explores themes of vulnerability, addiction, and self-destruction.
Militarie Gun are teasing their new album 'God Save The Gun' with their latest single 'God Owes Me Money'.
According to the band's Ian Shelton, the album explores themes of vulnerability, addiction, and self-destruction. "I’m well aware that being this vulnerable turns my personal trauma into a marketing hook for this album,” he explains.
“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.”

Militarie Gun will be embarking on The BAD IDEA tour later this month, starting in Palm Springs, California and concluding in Albuquerque, New Mexico. In early 2026, the band will tour Europe and the UK, followed by a North American spring tour with Joyce Manor.
