TTNG (formerly known as This Town Needs Guns[4]) are a British math rock band from Oxford, formed in 2002, and currently signed to the American label Sargent House Records.

In their 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.

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.

The Sydney Morning Herald describes the band's music as having "intricate pop guitar work, with a touch of jazz and Spanish influences".

The band also felt uncomfortable with their name due to the issues of gun violence and mass shootings worldwide and in particular the United States and wanted to distance themselves from those associations.
