Militarie Gun have released a new single, ‘Throw Me Away’, alongside a performance video directed by Ian Shelton, and announced a headline run across Europe and the UK for early 2026.
The track arrives ahead of the band’s second album, ‘God Save The Gun’, due 17th October via Loma Vista Recordings, which follows 2023’s debut ‘Life Under The Gun’.
Speaking about the meaning behind the new single, Ian shares, “‘Throw Me Away’ is about the feeling of only being valued when you’re visible or useful and the desperate need to hold onto that. What someone loves about you one day might be cited as a reason they hate you now. It’s the desire for external validation and also the deep resentment of it.”
“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.”
The band’s touring extends through the autumn across the US before the 2026 EU/UK headline dates, which feature support from White Reaper and Spite House. Tickets go on sale on 12th September at 10am via militariegun.com/tour.
