The Hornblower Brothers are a four-piece band based in Brighton, England. Their debut EP "Adventures in the National Geographic" was released on Bell Boy Records in October 2009 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^[1] and Jeffrey Lewis, mainly due to the prominent use of satirical lyrics and an off-kilter pop style.
