Militarie Gun’s God Save The Gun starts with a confession: “I’ve been slipping up” frontman Ian Shelton roars. This isn’t just a sonically daring swing of a rock album, it’s a very human document of being at your worst when you should be on top—an absurdist guide to the intersection of self-destruction and self-belief. "I’m well aware that being this vulnerable turns my personal trauma into a marketing hook for this album,” Shelton says. “But I’m fine with it, if not provoking it.”
