This Town Needs Guns, (sometimes shortened to “TTNG”) are a math rock band originating from Oxford in the United Kingdom. They were formed in 2004, and are currently signed to Sargent House (USA) and Zankyo (JP).
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 line-up changed in June 2011. Stu Smith left the band to become a father, and he was replaced by Henry Tremain (Pennines).
Their second album will be recorded in September 2011, and will be released early 2012 (if the world hasn’t ended).
Members:
Tim Collis - guitar
Jamie Cooper - bass
Chris Collis - drums
Henry Tremain - guitar/vocals

Insanely good and comforting band though. They're different enough from American Football in my opinion that it doesn't bother me in the slightest.

might get hate for this, but whether or not they copied American Football, I kinda like TTNG better... and I might even go so far as to say that they are a better band, as far as skill goes...
