Hotline TNT (the project of Will Anderson) has signed to Third Man Records, and its first release for the label is “Protocol,” a shoegazy noise pop song that Will says is “about falling on a sword — sometimes you just gotta hold an L even when in your heart of hearts you know it’s not fair. Saving the relationship is worth taking the blame now and again.”
It comes with a video directed by Fiona Kane, who adds, “It’s a rock n roll push and pull silent comedy for summer. The most important parts of summer are beating the heat and listening to rock music.” Check it out below.
Hotline TNT is playing a Brooklyn generator show on Friday (7/28) with Firewalker and Bazooka. Get tickets to find out the location. After that, Hotline TNT heads on tour, playing Riot Fest, Sound and Fury, and more. All dates are listed below.
