Following on from a busy 2008, This Town Needs Guns head out on their first UK tour of the new year later this week. Influenced by the much-adored Chicago scene (Owls, Maps and Atlases, Joan of Arc et al), the bands debut album, ‘Animals’ (released via Big Scary Monsters Records in October), will see a US release in March via Sargent House, to be followed by their first Stateside tour.
