Militarie Gun's new album, "God Save The Gun," starts with a confession: "I've been slipping up," frontman Ian Shelton roars on the opening cut "B A D I D E A." It's real vulnerability tucked amongst distorted bass and blown-out drums, and the perfect introduction to one of the most exciting records of the year. This isn't just a sonically daring, massive swing of a rock album, it's also 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.
