Militarie Gun and Dazy are back at it. ‘Tall People Don’t Live Long’ is the second chapter in their ongoing collaboration — and it hits like a steel-toe boot to the chest. Picking up where 2022’s unexpectedly sticky and high-voltage ‘Pressure Cooker’ left off, this one keeps the fuse lit: same raw chemistry, same no-frills punch.

And let’s not pretend we didn’t see this coming — everyone was waiting for this collab. After ‘Pressure Cooker’, it was clear they’d fire off another one sooner or later. Honestly, I was hoping for something in the same vein: another loud, punk-leaning, grimy track with a hook that blows out your speakers. What I got instead… was the Beach Boys after overthinking life.

Disappointed? Hell no. I’m thrilled. This is a killer track where club swagger sits right next to melancholy. It bumps, it drifts, it works both for going hard at the gym and for wandering down the beach, staring off into the distance, lost in your own thoughts.

The video is simple — two guys in suits dancing in the dark. Perfect. The scene, the lighting, the movement — it all serves the sound. The title’s absurd, and the delivery leans right into that. The guitars grind through a lo-fi, brickwalled mess that sounds like it was tracked in a concrete stairwell — in the best way possible. Underneath it all is this warped, bouncy groove that nods to late-’90s alt rock — but sharper, louder, and fully planted in 2025.

Bonus detail: they debuted the track live in New York just last week, and by all reports, it tore the place up. That’s the thing with these two — they write songs that want to live loud. Big hooks, louder guitars, and the constant edge that it could all collapse mid-set… except it never does. It’s short, catchy, a little bit dumb, and wildly replayable.
