This Town Needs Guns - Animals

Taking cues from American post-punk "greats" such as Owls or Cap'n Jazz (or anything the Kinsella boys touch, really) hasn't necessarily been a recipe for mainstream success. Cult followings are all rage now, anyway. This Town Needs Guns, who are indeed a reflection of their entirely erudite stomping grounds in Oxford, England, are a remarkably proficient bunch of technically inclined guitar "wunderkinds," if I may. The band has already released a sizable collection of EPs and singles courtesy of the indie Big Scary Monsters (which, at my behest - please take the time to check out the rest of the label's roster), and will continue the charge into the states with their debut full length "Animals" due to be released via new LA label Sargent House. While those in the states will have to wait while Sargent gets things sorted, those is the UK will find it easy to get their hands on. They're an absolute favorite of mine...certainly you can all share in my exuberance?! -Lizzy

By the End of Tonight & Tera Melos - Complex Full of Phantoms (2007)

By the End of Tonight is a Math Rock band from Alvin, Texas, US. The band was formed in 2003 by Stefan Mach on guitar, Josh Smith on guitar and keyboards, James Templeton on bass, percussion and Jeff Wilson on drums and xylophone. After releasing their demo in 2003 the record label Temporary Residence Limited signed them. In 2005 they released their first album with a record label called “A Tribute to Tigers”. In the proceeding year the band had trouble writing and meeting each other so they released a set of four EPs which where made by a member of the band respectively. In the same year guitarist Josh Smith left the band and was replaced by Brett Taylor. In 2007 By the End of Tonight made a split album with Tera Melos called “A Complex Full of Phantoms”. Drummer Jeff Wilson left the band after the release.

By The End of Tonight’s music is heavy and complex often veering into metal territory from time to time, but this isn’t their main concern. Post-Rock is another slight influence in their sound, but it’s less noticeable than their metal leanings. Fans of Oxes, Don Caballero, Tera Melos and other Math Rock bands will find By the End of Tonight’s music highly enjoyable.-Ruben Dario (Chamberry)
