About Militarie Gun

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.

Known for Bread and Circuses, Cheyenne, WYAS, Lemon Scent, Apathy

Militarie Gun + Minneapolis

Militarie Gun brought their particular brand of controlled chaos to Minneapolis Armory on November 5th, threading through a setlist that felt less like a greatest hits run and more like a deep dive into their catalog. "Pressure Cooker" opened things up, and they leaned into the weirder corners — "Thought You Were Waving" and "Never Fucked Up Once" sat somewhere between post-punk anxiety and art-rock tangents, the kind of songs that stick with you after the fact. The whole thing had the feel of a band comfortable enough with themselves to skip the obvious moves and just play what they wanted.

They slot naturally into a scene that's never been afraid of challenging its listeners.

Minneapolis road trip to see Militarie Gun?

Stay in the Northeast Minneapolis arts district—it's where the city's creative energy actually lives, with galleries, vintage shops, and the Mississippi River nearby. Eat at Café Alma in the same neighborhood for restrained, high-quality Italian cooking. Spend an afternoon at the Walker Art Center, which sits on a rise overlooking downtown and has genuine landscape appeal. Grab coffee at Spyhouse, a roaster that takes itself seriously without the performative nonsense. The Stone Arch Bridge is worth a walk if the weather cooperates.
