This Town Needs Guns - 26 Is Dancier Than 4 

defiantly still listening to this in 2020

Everyone who disliked thinks 4 is dancier than 26

Dude - they had no money and likely not budget. I'd say for a low budget promo this is pretty stellar - much better than just watching a band jam in a room lit really well. The idea is a beautiful one.

This is the first song I heard by TTNG And i've been hooked ever since. Best band ever.

This Band Needs Awards

[Verse 1] I'm so sorry I'm not down tonight But all my friends have lost their minds And what's more… I'm not happy here anymore [Pre-Chorus] We should've stayed at home tonight All the bright lights and company Are not what I need [Chorus] It's just the same as it was before Same faces there to hit the floor My legs have carried me far There's still strength enough for one more So let's carry on And dance to all the same songs Like back when we were young And nights like this would fade to one [Verse 2] So let's get out of here We've done all we can This place is not dead So when will this night end? [Pre-Chorus] We'll do it all again Next Friday night This Picture-postcard modernity [Chorus] It's just the same as it was before Same faces there to hit the floor My legs have carried me far There's still strength enough for one more So let's carry on And dance to all the same songs Like back when we were young And nights like this would fade to one [Outro]

The Mathrock Anthem!

"Like back when we were young, and nights like this would fade to one." So powerful.

Went from american football's "never meant" to this. Fuck yeah.

Really wish this band gets more attention. They're incredibly talented!

15 years ago already........

lovely bit of 26/8 at the end

I haven't heard this song til after I had already listened to animals and 13 a bunch of times and now I suddenly have a new favorite from them

i used to just watch this for the song and go into other tabs and stuff but i actually just watched the vid for the first time and its amazing..

26 is dancier than 4! makes sense now. ahh usually im disappointed when i find out the meanings to song titles -- this one made me happy.

it took me like 3 hours to learn this song!!!! SO WORTH IT!!!

so many memories with this specific video. literally the very first springboard for so much of my music taste today. reminds of better times... or maybe they weren't actually better and it's just rose-tinted glasses lol. whatever the case, still incredibly important to me

If you’re still listening in 2021, you’re a legend

This is the most civil youtube argument I have ever seen. Thank you both for making me feel pretty good about humanity today. I will be sure to check out both your pages.

Where my 2019 peeps at

this town needs guns is just plain awesome. and what a lovely video! i'd love to see them live some time.

Such a simple but nostalgic music video man. Something about this old style from back in the day just feels so warm and familiar to me even though I was too young to even remember anything from it. I miss it. Wish things still felt this way

This has to be one of the most original music videos I've seen in a long looooooooooong time. I just discovered this band and they're one of my new favorites for sure.

This is beatiful!

This is my first time finding this band I have awoken

this has to be one of the coolest music videos ive seen :D i love it!

amazing video - kept me very interested. great band too!

absolutely love this video!!! great song too

This is incredible!

thanks! i cant remember exactly how long as it was a while ago but i think the actual animating without any editing took about 4/5 days to do.

Why do people on RU-vid feel the need to define the comments section as a place for constructive criticism only? This is a video website, not a goddamn workshop.

this song rocks and this video is really cool,,,so glad somebody introduced me to this band today!

I'm no time signature expert, but I'm hearing the song in 4 sections: Section 1: 3 bars of 12, then 4 bars of 4 Section 2: 3 bars of 7, then 1 bar of 9, repeated 4 times Section 3: All in 6 Repeat all 3 sections above Section 4: 26 (or 4 bars of 5, one bar of 6, repeated)

Amazing song and the video is so well made, really original

This is so amazing

beautiful . this guy can sing the hellz shit outa dat mic

Plain and simple, amazing music

amazing video, amazing song, absolutely SICK guitar riffs.

and the time signature is also mind bending. Tim Collis is my hero how he does what he does is beyond me. These crazy tapping riffs with crazy time signatures, his technicality blows my mind

Great video, I mean seriously, good idea and amusingly executed. I've seen comments about this - the 26 is in reference to the closing riff (5, 5, 5, 5, 6 pattern).

I have no words to express how awesome this song is

The song and video put together makes me smile :)

what a nice video for such a great song ♥ it

2:05 best part

I saw flyers four their show tonight. I'm glad I check them out cause now I have something to do tonight.

LOVELY

So lets carry on! And dance to all the same song's, like back when we we're young

Heard this song live! amazing!

great song.... amazing band... hope they come down south soon!

This is so clever :)

purely amazing song

This is pretty good. I constantly heard about them and have had them suggested, but I guess I just never stumbled upon them till now. Cool.

Whoever disliked this is a big meanie face

brilliant

One of my favorite songs

Revisiting this song once more, feelsgoodman. Despite it being a total bitch to learn on guitar and drums, chris and tim are legendary

I Love This ! It's Adorable, Great Song Too =)

That's fair enough. The video doesn't fit perfectly with the song but it's still awesome. There won't be another video for the track. The album is coming out in September so there'll be a video for a brand new track nearer then

This song it's soooo relax i love it

This is very Kinsella -like, but ya gots to love this type of songwriting. It gets me everytime.

excellent video!!!!

What an awesome stuff, about music and animation I mean.

Just recently discovered this band and all i have to say is... WOW!

Absolutely solid track!

Me too, just randomly searched some bands and found them two days ago, already bought their CD on eBay.

oh my good god these guys are mind blowing that guitar is crazy, i tried with the tabs its pretty insane

Amazing track

Speechless...

Love the video. XD Never heard of the band before, but it sounds good. :)

THERES STILL STRENGTH ENOUGH FOR ONE MOREEEE

This video made me smile. =)

@Zerocyde You have to be kidding me. This song is melodic as hell without beating you over the head with the same three chords and beat. It's the epitome of great musicianship.....intricate yet digestible.

I was 7yrs old when this came out

That was sick

hell yeah, this video is at a quarter million!!

This band rocked Reading tonight :)

Lovely video...

Very Cool Video.

I love this sound. Whats it called? Mathrock? Nolstalgia rock?

If someone told me 4 is dancier than 26, I'd steal all the guns from their town.

that is insane!

my two favorite things in one: this town needs guns and stop motion. mmmm yes.

Awesome

Going to see you's in Newcastle Upon Tyne!

fantastick job this is awesome videoever wow !!! :)

Thanks I'll give it a listen.

15 years later, still the same vibe

hey this is pretty good!

Very interesting.

such a good song

gotta love stop motion

This is amazing, probably took you a while too, but well done!

26 is awesome.

It’s like clean TFOT lol so good

Wow, beautiful and artistically talented. Double Threat xD

I listen to this and feel happy when depressed

This video exudes pure late 2000s nostalgia. It was a simpler time.

I added this to a playlist, and unplanned, it wound up being the 26th video in the playlist.

the first vocalist made this band for me

hehe, I was thinking about that too, but it was worth a try!
