The Towners is a six-track EP (extended play) by Brunanter indie folk rock band The Towners and their debut album, produced by band members Edward and Steve Hennessey, and self-released in 2000.

The album contains several references to the Hennessey brothers' home town, Charles Town, Sint-Anders Parish. 'This Ford of Ours' refers to the original name of the town, namely Brookford, as it was a shallow place (a ford) where a small stream (a brook) could be crossed. 'The Lady and the Grasshopper' is a reference to the weather vane atop Withalson Hall. And 'Those Burning Eyes' tells the fictionalized story of Anne Dunton, who was expelled from the parish in 1792 for heresy.

It is currently out of print.
