The events leading up to this album:
Former vocalist Stuart Smith left This Town Needs Guns in 2011 to focus on his family, and became a father shortly after. New vocalist Henry Tremain (of Pennines) took Stu's place as vocalist. Bassist Jamie Cooper also left shortly after Stu did, leaving Henry to fulfull bass duties as well. Jamie however had written all of the bass parts to this album before leaving.

Regarding the name change:
This Town Needs Guns changed their band name to TTNG shortly after the release of 13.0.0.0.0. Gun control and firearm laws were not an issue for the band in 2004 when the they were smaller and less popular. After gaining a stronger international following in more recent years, and as gun control became a more controvesial issue (particularly in the USA), the band's name was starting to be miscontrued as a real sentiment. The band then made the decision to change their name to the acronym of their former name, to TTNG.
