Aim And Precision With IAN SHELTON From MILITARIE GUN

Aim And Precision With IAN SHELTON From MILITARIE GUN

Interview by Kris Peters
Mixing catchy and accessible rock undertones with metal as fuck hardcore, Militarie Gun are a band making waves.
They have recently released their debut album Life Under The Gun, an honest appraisal of a band on the rise and one which refuses to hide behind their relative infancy.
HEAVY caught up with vocalist Ian Shelton just before the album dropped last week.
"We set out to make a very classic rock inspired record that was meant to still feel modern," he explained. "We recorded it at Dave Grohl's studio and we're going for massive drum sounds and something that feels timeless and classic at the same time, not old. We have our roots in hardcore and punk music and wanted to make a record that takes all of the aggression from the hardcore that we love and then the melody of all the classic rock that we love."
In the full interview Ian talks more about the musical side of the album, what inspired it, what past lessons the band learnt that they carried through to their debut full length, blending pop, rock and metal and finding the sonic balance in music, a brief history of the band, his progression from sole band member to a full outfit, sharing creative control and more.
