  The Briefs - Getting Hit On At The Bank
Download   |   Stream

The fall of 2000 was a time of innocence. Clinton was President. The Twin Towers were still standing. And Bob Seger still had his dignity. Then the Briefs burst onto the scene like a neutron bomb with the audaciously titled �Hit After Hit� and the punk rock landscape was changed forever.

Five years later they�re still poor and still weird but their fans are so much richer for the tons of records they�ve put out along way. If you�re hungry for more history, BYO re-releasd �Hit After Hit� and �Off the Charts� so now you can listen to what you�ve been missing, but start with the new record: �Steal Yer Heart.� It�s got 12 tracks of pure punk rock pandemonium. If their last record, �Sex Objects� was full of political mischief, an antidote for these tumultuous times, �Steal yer Heart� is a dysfunctional love song, a reflection of the challenges that come with spending half your life on the road.
