Premiere: Watch the Military Man Video from Toronto's Gay

Gay are a band from Toronto comprised of Neil Rankin, Paul Erlichman, Cameron Murray and Tom Avis. Their newest video for "Military Man" communicated the pain that accompanies those whose loved ones are in service to their country.

Gay have released two singles on Pleasence Records, and last year they released Dance Mix 95, their first full length, which marked the band's transition from the janglepop of their earlier releases towards concert hall sized prog-pop, adding string and horn sections and more complex and varied song structures.

The band will be embarking on their first UK tour in May 2014, and will be accompanied by the release of a mixtape, featuring contributions from Digits, Sexy Merlin, Ben Cook of Fucked Up and Slim Twig entitled To The Choir, on Pleasence and Heart Throb Records on April 29th.

Stream "Military Man" on the band's Soundcloud.
