Militarie Gun
Life Under The Sun EP

Twisting the title and some of the songs from their album, Life Under The Gun, this EP from Militarie Gun is a set of alternate versions with a side order of collaboration!

In terms of those collaborations, you’ll find Bully, Mannequin Pussy, and Manchester Orchestra here. There’s also a cover version is the NOFX classic ‘Whoops I OD’d’. The songs are stripped back a lot, so there’s more of an acoustic vibe in general on this EP – though there are electric edges and synth pumps smuggled within.

The songs don’t have the urgent vibe of the album and the vocal is dropped to a more languid style, with an overall more psychedelic feel. I’m a huge fan of the album, these songs are an enjoyable treat, but I have to admit it made me itch for the edginess of the originals.

Listen to Militarie Gun – ‘Never Fucked Up Twice’.
