Sludge Factory (AU) Interview
This Town Needs Guns: shooting from the hip
THIS TOWN NEEDS GUNS may not be the most familiar name, but these lads from Oxford in the UK make an impression on those who encounter them. Vocalist Stuart Smith explains to Robyn Morrison how the band came together, whether they really fit into the math rock genre and their upcoming visit to Australia.
Let’s just clear one point up straight away. Of all the sub genres of rock, math rock is tagged to those musical pieces which are rhythmically complex and contain atypical rhythmic structures. You could be forgiven for thinking this is some type of nerd music. In fact, math rock’s origin occurred almost three decades ago in the American Midwest and concentrated on angular melodies and time signatures that weren’t as straight forward as your usual 4/4 beat. It’s not usual to find yourself foot tapping to a 7/8, 11/8 or even 13/8 beat when listening to music which falls into the math rock category. History and music lessons aside, Smith shares his thoughts on whether THIS TOWN NEEDS GUNS fits the description and how the band came together. “I started the band way back when I was in Uni. I always wanted to play in a band and when I came to university I thought that this was a good chance to meet people who might be interested in that kind of thing and it’s gone through lots of different variations and stages.
