Well, look at that—the return of The Briefs wasn’t just a one-off. The punk lifers are back again with Hospital Elevator, a fresh 7″ single that proves last year’s comeback had legs—and hooks.

I’ll let guitarist Steve E. Nix set the scene for the title track: “There’s nicer hospital visits, and then there’s seedier ones—like where there’s cops and people withdrawing and sketchy guys in handcuffs and all that. And you’re trying to find your girlfriend, and it’s 4 a.m., and you’re in an elevator. The song is along those lines. With a cool beat.”
No further explanation necessary, really.

And then there’s Mary Ann on the flipside—a song that could’ve easily been the A-side. It’s a snotty, catchy, late ’70s-style punk tune, the kind that reminds you exactly why The Briefs are masters of their craft.

Hospital Elevator is out now on TKO Records. Track it down at your local record dealer.
