Militarie Gun and Dazy have shared a new song. “Tall People Don’t Live Long” is the second collaboration between the Los Angeles hardcore group and Richmond-based artist, following their 2022 joint single, “Pressure Cooker.” Watch the accompanying music video, directed and produced by Militarie Gun frontman Ian Shelton, below.
“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,” Shelton said in a press statement. “‘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.”
“Tall People Don’t Live Long” marks Militarie Gun’s first new music since their 2024 single “Thought You Were Waving.” The band released its debut album, Life Under the Gun, in 2023, and James Goodson put out his latest project as Dazy, Otherbody, that same year.
