Incredibly well-written statement. I respect their decision.

Have never listened to this band. Have always assumed that they were heavy. Probably because I've kind of linked this band with Stick To Your Guns.

Either way, I'll probably always refer to them by the full band name

I feel like a full name change would have flown better than switching to an acronym, personally. Changing the name was a good decision regardless, and who couldn't respect a statement like that?

Yep.

Respect the statement, like the decision.

I feel like people should recognize it as a band name, but what he's saying makes sense, so, respect.

Just got into them and they're really amazing. I'll take 'em as This Town Needs Guns or TTNG any day.

Well said.

Sucks but makes sense.

If only Blood on the Dance Floor felt the same way.

13-whatever is a fantastic record.

AOTY

Heard there'd be lots of changes,
didn't know they'd be ready so soon. Welcome back, All-Star Weekend!

this is a cop out decision coming from a band thats afraid to offend people. Their name was an artistic expression and they are not responsible for the actions of other people. I'm completely disgusted by the amount of artists who feel the pressure to amend their own works because fucked up shit happens. Music is a business more than ever, and these fucking musicians are compromising their own integrity by their willingness to do shit like this.

That, or, they have compassion.
