小简介
This Town Needs Guns are an math/indie-rock band originating from Oxford in the United Kingdom. They were formed in 2004, and are currently signed to the Big Scary Monsters Recording Company (UK), Sargent House (USA), Rallye (Japan), and Yellow Ghost Records (Australia).
The band have built a huge online fanbase with many people excited by their technical and clever instrumentation. In mid-2008 a rumour circulated that guitarist, Tim Collis, was taught to play by [[[Victor Villareal]] (Owls, Cap'n Jazz), something which is yet to be confirmed or denied by the band.
Their debut full length album, 'Animals', was released in UK via Big Scary Monsters Recording Company in October 2008 and shortly after in the US via Sargent House Records. The band will be touring the UK, Europe and US throughout 2009.
Musical style
Over the years the band's musical style has progressed and changed, although the focal point of their style has been the impressive guitar work of Tim Collis interspersed with solid, and at points highly complex, drumming and sparse, melodic bass. Early releases however, featured more distorted chord progressions, as well as a strong focus on the interlinking melodies of both Collis and Smith's guitars. More recently however, the band's music has become more technical; making more use of asymetrical time signatures and complex accenting between guitar and drums, plus an abandonment of distortion and guitar effects, giving way to more complex melodies. Pianist Jody Prewett also had a brief spell in the band.
The band cites influences of other bands such as Owls, American Football, and Make Believe.[1]
The band I Was a Cub Scout cites This Town Needs Guns as an influence.[2]

- @Speakeasy Radio(细声电台,细说音乐故事.)：来自英国文化古城牛津的TTNG。其实乐队原名是This Town Needs Guns 小镇需要枪 。我们知道，英国的警察是不配枪的，而作為歷史和文化重鎮的牛津又怎麼會需要槍械的？所以乐队名本来是一個對家鄉牛津開的玩笑話。但是在后来他们把音乐带到美国后，美國社會关于槍枝暴力議題正在沸沸扬扬，这个原本無傷大雅的英式嘲諷的乐队名變得敏感，並被誤讀為政治表態，所以他們在2012年，決議將月底名改為乐队原名的縮寫 TTNG，架空了原有的幽默意涵。一定要分类的话，TTNG可能更靠近属于数字摇滚或者数学摇滚那一类，但是他们自己也说不需要给自己严格标签，尝试一切可能的实验性摇滚。
