The Hornblower Brothers are a four-piece band based in Brighton, England. The band have played live at many venues in Brighton and further afield and also at festivals including The Great Escape.^[1] They released their debut E.P. "Adventures In The National Geographic" on Bell Boy Records in October 2009, which received a four-star review in The Skinny,^[2] and later released the single "Give and Receivers / Ghost of Kerouac" on Static Caravan Recordings 19 April 2010. In 2010 the band took a break before reforming early in 2015.

Musical style

The Hornblower Brothers style has often been compared to Half Man Half Biscuit^[3] and Jeffrey Lewis, mainly due to the prominent use of satirical lyrics and an off-kilter pop style.
