TTNG, formerly known as This Town Needs Guns, is a British band hailing from Oxford that has been redefining the landscape of math rock since their inception in 2004. With their intricate guitar work, complex rhythms, and a penchant for whimsical song titles, TTNG has amassed a dedicated following in the math rock and indie scenes. Their sound is marked by melodic yet technically complex instrumental lines, reflecting a deep commitment to musical craftsmanship that their fans have come to expect.

The band's discography is a testament to their evolution and meticulous approach to songwriting. Albums like "Animals" in 2008 and "13.0.0.0.0" in 2013 showcase their unique blend of emotional resonance and instrumental prowess. The transformation of the former into an acoustic form with "Animals Acoustic" indicates the adaptability and depth of their compositions. TTNG's work is not without its playful side, with tunes like "Chinchilla" and "Cat Fantastic" from their earlier albums or "Coconut Crab" from their 2016 release, "Disappointment Island," which presents a refined iteration of their signature sound. TTNG's presence extends beyond studio work, as exemplified by their performance on "TTNG on Audiotree Live," capturing the dynamic energy of their live shows. Despite lineup changes over the years, the band's core—anchored by the intricate guitar work of Tim Collis—has continued to create music that challenges genre boundaries and provides an immersive listening experience.
