These Ears Need More Tunes

... like this. This Town Needs Guns combine mind blowing technical proficiency on guitar, dipping and diving vocals, with a calculating and steady rhythm section rounding out the angular math/indie band out of Oxford, England. With two full lengths to their name as well as a split, the impressive band sometimes can over burden listeners with their frantic guitar riffing, but beyond the lightning quick hammer ons and pull offs, string skipping and precision picked notes lies earnest and heartfelt song writing, driven home by the impressive atmosphere the pining vocals and sound scapes the music makes. Besides, some beauty needs to be admired in awe, put on a pedestal, and Tim Collin's guitar work is so incredible that it's enough reason to keep listening to this band.



Head to their website to purchase acoustic reworks of two songs off their latest LP, Animals
