Militarie Gun and Dazy unveil new collaboration, "Tall People Don’t Live Long"
Los Angeles hardcore group Militarie Gun and Richmond-based artist Dazy have unveiled the brand new collaborative single, "Tall People Don't Live Long".
“James is taller than me so you can guess how I came up with the title of this song. What started as a joke between us turned into a real conversation about how sometimes people who have reached certain heights in life begin to look down on others,” Militarie Gun frontman Ian Shelton said. “‘Tall people’ became our tongue-in-cheek term for anyone that’s lost so much perspective that they think it’s alright to make someone feel less-than. This song is about rejecting that attitude—the bigger they are, the harder they fall.”
“Ian and I wrote this song shortly after ‘Pressure Cooker’ came out and it made us realize how daring we could actually be with songwriting,” James Goodson adds. “It came together really quickly in an afternoon of us sending ideas back and forth, and I’ll never forget how we couldn’t stop listening to the demo and saying ‘I can’t believe we wrote this.’ Years later we were finally able to get together and take the song over the finish line with Justin Raisen. We see Dazy & Militarie Gun as basically its own band, a separate body of work from our other music with its own identity, and I think this song really solidified that idea for us.”
The new single follows their 2022 collaboration, "Pressure Cooker", and marks Militarie Gun’s first new music since their 2024 single, "Thought You Were Waving".
