Hotline TNT’s Will Anderson Talks New York Band’s Growing Success: ‘I Feel Like I’m About to Blow Your Minds’
Hotline TNT frontman Will Anderson talks about the New York band's new album Raspberry Moon, Third Man Records, YouTube and more.
For more than a decade, Anderson, 36, has been something of a transcontinental indie-rock journeyman: After one of his former bands, the Vancouver-based Weed, earned some buzz in the mid-’10s, he kept making music as a hobby in Minneapolis – while he pursued a graduate degree to become a guidance counselor – before eventually landing in New York City shortly before the pandemic began. Fans quickly gravitated to Hotline TNT’s debut album, 2021’s Nineteen in Love, and Anderson grew his following by picking up coveted support slots for buzzy indie bands like Snail Mail, Momma and Horsegirl. The set of anthemic shoegaze and power-pop gems earned raves from indie-rock tastemakers and catapulted Hotline TNT to the forefront of the genre – even if Anderson wryly shrugs off the success as “right place, right time.”
