“Did we mention we have a new record coming out!??” wrote The Briefs yesterday on an Instagram post.

The Briefs are getting busy in 2019. They’re on the top row of the very long list of Burger Mania bands playing the 8th annual fest at Hotel Vegas and Volstead Lounge in Austin, Texas, have announced a Burger Records tour with The Stitches, called the Birthday Cake & New Wax Tour 2019, and now The Briefs and dropping the news that there’s a new record coming our way.

The Album is called Platinum Rats pre-order will be available tomorrow. Valentines Day. This is pretty big. The Briefs haven’t released an LP since, what, 2005? That can’t be right, can it? Happy Valentine’s Day, indeed.
