  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.
  
  The Hornblower Brothers returned to action in 2016 with a new EP Free Range for Bleeding Heart Recordings, and a live session on Marc Riley's BBC Radio 6 Music. The band subsequently released the An Uncomprehensive Retrospective (2008–2016) compilation album and a follow-up single "Popping Round The Bend" on its own Pap Records label.
  
  ## Musical style
  
  The Hornblower Brothers style has often been compared to Half Man Half Biscuit and Jeffrey Lewis, mainly due to the prominent use of satirical lyrics and an off-kilter pop style.
