Militarie Gun
Fillmore Auditorium (Denver) — Denver, CO

Militarie Gun is a math rock band from New Jersey that writes songs that sound like they're falling apart and rebuilding themselves mid-measure. They've developed a cult following for their intricate, angular approach to post-hardcore — all stuttering rhythms and unexpected time signatures that somehow feel inevitable once you've heard them. Their earlier work trades in frantic energy and technical precision, while later releases show them expanding into more atmospheric territory without losing the twitchy, cerebral edge that drew people in. They're the kind of band that appeals to people who listen to math rock because they actually like math, and people who just like the sensation of music that refuses to sit still. Live, they've built a reputation for delivering the technical goods without the self-consciousness, making songs that should sound precious feel genuinely urgent instead.

Militarie Gun shows are tightly wound, focused affairs. Crowds stand rapt watching the band execute intricate arrangements with visible concentration. There's minimal crowd interaction but genuine intensity — the kind of show where people actually listen instead of just existing in the room.

Militarie Gun pulled up to Marquis Theater on February 26th and ran through a setlist that felt like a conversation with themselves. They opened with "Seizure of Assets" and spent the next hour untangling the kind of anxiety that sounds like guitar feedback. "My Friends are Having a Hard Time" landed differently in a room full of people, and when they got to "Life Under The Gun" and "All Roads Lead to the Gun" back-to-back, it felt intentional—like they were circling something. The Denver crowd got treated to "Don't Pick Up the Phone" and "Never Fucked Up Once," songs that hit harder in person. They closed with "Do It Faster," which seemed about right.

Denver's got a decent math-rock and post-hardcore underground, though it's often overshadowed by the city's indie and jam-band reputation. Bands like Wussy and the local DIY venues have carved out space for angular, cerebral rock. Militarie Gun fits that lineage—technically demanding, emotionally unguarded, the kind of band that rewards paying actual attention.

Stay in Highland, where tree-lined streets and independent bookstores make it feel like you're actually in Denver rather than passing through. Eat at Frasca Food and Wine if you want to understand why Colorado takes its ingredients seriously—it's fine dining without pretense. Before the show, spend an afternoon at the Denver Art Museum's contemporary wing, which often has installations that match the visual language of experimental music. Walk around Santa Fe Drive's gallery district. It's the kind of neighborhood where the art and music scenes actually talk to each other.
