Militarie Gun, Dazy Drop ‘Tall Individuals Do not Reside Lengthy’: Watch Video

The music world is replete with backbiters and bitterness — and that’s the vanity behind the most recent link-up between L.A. hardcore band Militarie Gun and Richmond’s Dazy, “Tall Individuals Don’t Reside Lengthy.”

“’Tall individuals’ grew to become our tongue-in-cheek time period for anybody that’s misplaced a lot perspective that they suppose it’s all proper to make somebody really feel less-than,” Militarie Gun frontman Ian Shelton stated in a press release. “This music is about rejecting that perspective — the larger they’re, the tougher they fall.”

The only is the primary collaboration between the bands since 2022’s bouncy fist-pumper “Strain Cooker.” “Ian and I wrote this music shortly after ‘Strain Cooker’ got here out and it made us understand how daring we may truly be with songwriting,” Dazy’s James Goodson added. “It got here collectively actually shortly in a day of us sending concepts forwards and backwards, and I’ll always remember how we couldn’t cease listening to the demo and saying ‘I can’t imagine we wrote this.’”

Like “Strain Cooker,” “Tall Individuals” is shameless enjoyable, an aughts-tinged monitor — all strings, handclaps, and echos — that asks, “Are you able to hear me along with your head up within the clouds?/Are you able to see me with out pointing your face down?” The accompanying video, directed by Shelton, is like Reservoir Canines meets Footloose, that includes the duo dancing in fits … menacingly.

The primary new music from Militarie Gun since their straight-ahead indie pop music “I Thought You Had been Waving,” “Tall Individuals” follows the band’s breakout report, Life After the Gun, which Rolling Stone known as “a lollipop whittled right into a shiv.”
