Militarie Gun and Dazy drop new collab, Tall People Don’t Live Long

Three years after Pressure Cooker, Militarie Gun and Dazy have teamed up for another new single.

They join forces for 2025 collab Tall People Don’t Live Long, which is Militarie Gun’s first new music since the band’s summer standalone track Thought You Were Waving.

Frontman Ian Shelton shares: “James [Goodson, aka Dazy] 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.

“‘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 realise how daring we could actually be with songwriting,” James continues. “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 and 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.”
