The band's upcoming 6th LP, The Death Of Randy Fitzsimmons, due August 11 and The Hives have released thier second single, 'Rigor Mortis Radio'
Produced by Patrik Berger (Santigold, Bleachers, Viagra Boys, Lana Del Rey, Robyn, Charli XCX, Miike Snow, Little Dragon, Peter Bjorn & John) The Hives have two Gold-selling albums in the US that include their Top 10 breakthrough hit "Hate To Say I Told You So" and Top 20 anthem "Walk Idiot Walk".
In the twenty-five years since THE HIVES exploded around the world, they have sold out stadiums and shared stages with everyone from AC/DC to THE ROLLING STONES. SPIN calls THE HIVES "the best live band on the planet" and Howlin' Pelle "the greatest frontman in rock," and the BBC dubbed the band "a force of nature." Rolling Stone named "Veni Vidi Vicious" one of the Top 100 Albums of the decade and "Hate To Say I Told You So" earned a spot on Pitchfork's Top 500 Songs of the 2000s. They have sold millions of albums worldwide with multiple RIAA gold certifications.
The bravado The Hives have always displayed has not gone away. In fact, singer Howlin' Pelle Almqvist says, “There’s no maturity or anything like that bullshit, because who the fuck wants mature rock ’n’ roll? That’s always where people go wrong, I feel. ‘It’s like rock ’n’ roll but adult,’ nobody wants that! That’s literally taking the good shit out of it. Rock ’n’ roll can’t grow up, it is a perpetual teenager and this album feels exactly like that, which it’s all down to our excitement — and you can’t fake that shit.”
The Hives are currently on an extensive SOLD OUT European tour with Arctic Monkeys and will be on the West Coast in the U.S. this fall!
