About Hotline TNT
Hotline TNT, primarily the brainchild of Will Anderson, has rapidly become a name synonymous with authentic, heartfelt indie rock. Hailing from Brooklyn, New York, Anderson has cultivated a distinctive sound that harks back to the golden era of '90s slacker rock and shoegaze, while injecting it with a fresh, contemporary urgency. The band's music is characterised by layers of fuzzed-out guitars, driving rhythms, and Anderson’s often melancholic, yet utterly captivating, vocal delivery. It’s a sound that feels both nostalgic and utterly current, resonating deeply with fans who appreciate raw emotion and melodic craftsmanship.
Their breakthrough moment arrived with the release of their critically acclaimed album "Cartwheel" in 2023, which garnered widespread praise for its songwriting depth and sonic texture. Tracks like "Protocol" and "I Thought You'd Change" showcase their ability to craft catchy hooks within a beautifully noisy framework, cementing their reputation as masters of lo-fi pop perfection. While Anderson is the creative core, Hotline TNT’s live performances feature a dynamic lineup of talented musicians who bring the studio recordings to life with an exhilarating intensity. This current touring configuration ensures a powerful and cohesive stage presence, translating the intricate layers of their music into a visceral live experience. Seeing them at a venue like Joiners offers a rare chance to connect with their music in its most genuine form, far from the stadium spectacle, focusing instead on the pure, unadorned power of their songs.
