Kerrang! In Conversation

Welcome to episode number 45 of Kerrang! In Conversation.

This week, Kerrang! Editor Luke Morton is joined in the studio by Ian Shelton from Militarie Gun.

Sitting down at Nando’s Studio in London, Ian reflects on a life surrounded by addiction and his own relationship with alcohol in a very honest, sometimes quite stark discussion. He also dives into the influence of stand-up comedy on his own performance style, using songwriting as a vice, the influence of pop music, and the formative shows that made him want to form a band.

And Ian reveals news of a new deluxe Militarie Gun record with new music and some pretty awesome collabs.
