The Hotlines were an English pop punk band, who formed in Brighton[1][2] in 2007. They released a split 7-inch record with American pop punk band the Queers in 2008, followed by a self-titled debut album in 2009. Both releases were on Devil's Jukebox records. Their follow-up record, The Return Of... The Hotlines was released on 10-inch vinyl on Monster Zero Records in 2011. During this time they have toured all over Europe. Their sound has often been compared to early Green Day,[3] with nods to the Beach Boys[4] and the Ramones.[5]
