Militarie Gun – Bad Idea

Militarie Gun announced their new album God Save The Gun due 17th October via Loma Vista Recordings. Alongside the announcement, the band shared the lead single “B A D I D E A”.

Speaking about “B A D I D E A” and the music video, Shelton shares, “I wanted to make a video that was a celebration of vices, a new iteration of yourself looking back at a moment you made a mistake while never truly reflecting. This was the most technically challenging video we’ve ever done, and it only fits a song spelling out the words ‘bad idea.’”

God Save The Gun 
is a very human document of being at your worst when you should be on top of the world – 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. 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.”

This Is Pop? today’s song of the day is here for you.
