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. They released the single "Give and Receivers" / "Ghost of Kerouac" on Static Caravan Recordings on 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.
