Hardcore bros playing alt-rock (no this ain't Turnstile!!!). Militarie Gun mostly plays a power pop-influenced alternative rock with a dude that prefers to shout rather than sing (maybe he can't sing at all? We won't be slanderous and assume the sympathetic lad can indeed sing). With this concoction in mind, Militarie Gun are exquisitely evident about their influences - the vocal delivery on "Never Fucked Up Once" sounds straight-up like Cap'n Jazz's "Oh Messy Life", the 90s pop punk comparison shines hard on some of those riffs ("Very High"), and the closer features a very R.E.M.-like jangle. These forays into other genres typically explain why the recent hardcore scene's popularity popped out: its main entities worked on refining rough-around-the-edge songwriting and fusing different influences within hardcore frameworks.
