Like a molotov cocktail hurled at the new millennium’s bland alt-rock scene, The Briefs exploded onto the punk landscape 25 years ago with their debut “Hit After Hit.” Now, these bleach-blonde Seattle troublemakers continue to set stages ablaze from Vegas to Berlin. Fresh off a European tour and armed with forthcoming 7″ “High Society b/w You Move Me,” they’re proving punk’s not dead—it’s just getting weirder, baby. To cap off a momentous 2024, the Briefs have reissued their sought-after first single “Poor and Weird b/w Rotten Love” while simultaneously gearing up for a US West Coast tour this fall. Five albums deep and countless bottles of peroxide later, these idiot savants continue to urge a new generation to grab a junk guitar, a pair of second-hand shades, and join the punk rock mutation!
