About Hotline TNT

Hotline TNT, the brainchild of Will Anderson, has rapidly ascended from a cult bedroom project to a band commanding significant attention across the indie landscape. Hailing from Brooklyn, New York, their sound is a captivating blend of ‘90s-inspired shoegaze, power-pop hooks, and a distinctly lo-fi aesthetic that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly contemporary. Anderson’s songwriting is characterised by its raw honesty, often exploring themes of longing, introspection, and the complexities of modern life, all delivered through a glorious wall of fuzz and distortion.

Their breakthrough album, “Cartwheel” (2023), solidified their status, earning widespread critical acclaim for its infectious melodies and undeniable energy. Tracks like “Protocol” and “I Thought You’d Change” showcase their knack for crafting anthemic yet intimate rock songs that stick with you. Prior to this, their self-titled 2020 release laid the groundwork, demonstrating their commitment to a sound that prioritises emotional impact over pristine production. While Anderson is the consistent creative force, the live lineup typically features a rotating cast of talented musicians who bring his vision to life with electrifying intensity. Their live performances are renowned for their raw power and an almost communal sense of catharsis, making them a must-see act for anyone with a penchant for genuinely impactful guitar music.

Brudenell Social Club: The Perfect Setting

Nestled in the vibrant student heartland of Hyde Park, Leeds, Brudenell Social Club (LS6 1NY) stands as a true institution in the UK’s independent music scene. Far from your typical corporate venue, the Brudenell boasts a rich history, having evolved from a traditional working men’s club into one of the most cherished and respected grassroots venues in the country. Its unassuming exterior belies an interior that pulses with musical heritage and a welcoming, unpretentious atmosphere.

The Brudenell’s charm lies in its intimacy and dedication to live music. With a capacity of around 400-500 for its main performance room, it offers an up-close-and-personal experience that few larger venues can match. The sound system is consistently excellent, ensuring every riff and vocal nuance is delivered with clarity, despite the raucous nature of many of its acts. Known for its friendly staff, affordable drinks, and a genuine love for music, the venue fosters a unique sense of community among artists and gig-goers alike. Accessibility is also well considered, with ground-floor access to the main performance area and accessible toilet facilities, ensuring as many people as possible can enjoy the magic within its walls. It’s truly the perfect crucible for Hotline TNT’s raw, energetic sound.

What to Expect at the Show

When Hotline TNT hit the Brudenell stage, prepare for an auditory assault in the best possible way. Their live shows are a masterclass in controlled chaos, a swirling vortex of fuzzy guitars, driving rhythms, and Anderson’s distinctive vocals cutting through the sonic landscape. Expect a dynamic setlist that will undoubtedly pull heavily from “Cartwheel,” treating the Leeds crowd to fan favourites and perhaps some deeper cuts from their earlier releases. Tracks like “Impact” and “Spotlight” are sure to ignite the room, prompting enthusiastic singalongs and a palpable buzz of excitement.

Stage production at a Hotline TNT gig at the Brudenell is unlikely to be extravagant. The focus will be squarely on the music itself – the raw energy, the intricate guitar work, and the sheer power of their sound. This stripped-back approach only enhances the band’s authenticity, allowing their music to speak for itself. The atmosphere will be electric; expect a passionate crowd, perhaps a few friendly mosh pits, and an overwhelming sense of shared euphoria. It’s a night where you can truly lose yourself in the music, connecting with both the band and your fellow enthusiasts in a quintessential Brudenell experience.
