They were formed in 2004, and are currently signed to the American label Sargent House Records. Their debut full length album, ''Animals'', was released in the UK via Big Scary Monsters Recording Company in October, 2008 and shortly after in the US via Sargent House Records.〔Solomon, Blake (October 12, 2008). "(This Town Needs Guns – Interview )", AbsolutePunk. Retrieved on 2009-09-28.〕 Following numerous departures, the band went from being a four-piece to a power trio, featuring Henry Tremain on bass and lead vocals, Tim Collis on guitar and his brother Chris Collis on drums. The band released their sophomore effort ''13.0.0.0.0'' in January, 2013 via Sargent House Records. == History == The band formed in 2004 in Oxford. The original lineup consisted of Stuart Smith on rhythm guitar and vocals, Tim Collis on lead guitar, Simon Thompson on Drums and Ian Lewis on Bass. Ian and Simon left the band in 2005, to be replaced by Dan Adams on bass (replaced by Jamie Cooper after the recording of Animals in 2008) and Matt Bennington on drums (replaced by Chris Collis, brother of guitarist Tim, in 2006). In earlier careers, bassist Jamie Cooper had worked as a graphic designer, drummer Chris Collis had been a librarian at the University of Oxford, guitarist Tim Collis was a primary school teacher, and lead vocalist Stuart Smith worked building websites for a publisher.〔 On May 11, 2011, it was announced on This Town Needs Guns' website that lead singer Stuart Smith would be leaving the band to start a family, and that he would be replaced by Pennines' singer and guitarist Henry Tremain.〔http://www.thistownneedsguns.com/blog/〕 Bassist Jamie Cooper also left the band in late 2011 to focus on a career in graphic design. Tremain has since taken over on bass guitar duties, converting the band into a power trio. On September 14, 2012, the first track from This Town Needs Guns' now released second album ''13.0.0.0.0'', entitled "Cat Fantastic" was released for public viewing and streaming over Soundcloud.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://thefourohfive.com/news/article/listen-to-cat-fantastic-the-first-single-from-this-town-needs-guns-new-album-405-exclusive )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「This Town Needs Guns」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
