Hitting their 25 year anniversary and forever moving forward, THE BRIEFS have been busy in 2024/2025 playing packed shows to both sides of the pond, releasing new singles on TKO Records, rereleasing back catalogue and keeping their feet firmly planted on the sticky punk rock floor from where they started. THE BRIEFS live shows continue to ignite crowds, reaffirming their status as punk rock stalwarts. Their
relentless touring and dynamic performances have garnered the band a fierce following that spans decades-- and fads.
This quarter-century of mayhem traces back to the band's unlikely start: Like a scud missile from outer space, their debut album "Hit After Hit" set out to destroy the
new Millennium's flaccid alt-rock scene in 2000—and, in turn—inspired two decades of raucous radioactive fallout. Sewing together a tattered tapestry of 70s-style punk—
with a nod toward Dangerhouse Records, DEVO, Thrasher Magazine, and ABBA—they've urged countless kids to grab a junk guitar, a pair of second-hand sunglasses, and a bottle of peroxide. What started with four idiot savants in a downtown Seattle basement has led to a remarkable ride, spawning some of the catchiest anti-hits this side of Y2K. "Off the Charts,"
"Sex Objects" and "Steal Yer Heart" are more than essential punk classics—they may have aided in reversing punk's once terminal diagnosis. What's next? THE BRIEFS legacy has proven to be as sticky as industrial hold hairspray. A mid-2000s hiatus
saw members forming side projects like Sharp Objects, The Cute Lepers, and Suspect Parts, but all roads led back to THE BRIEFS. Following their "Singles Only" box set and "Odd Numbers," demos and rarities release, 2018 album "Platinum Rats" proved the band to be as vital as ever (a US tour with the legendary Dead Boys followed). For this unstoppable force, the radiation is still in the water and—good news for our species—the punk rock mutations are alive and kicking. After 25 years, THE BRIEFS are still weird, still wired.
