Label: The Hives AB
Release Date: 11th August

MATE, The Hives killed back in the day, I hope you didn't forget? Off you pop and go double check if you did, heavier than you remembered right? A real garage rock assault weren't they? This was also pre-Strokes too. Anyway, they're back they still got the swagger and they're still producing perfect blasts of garage rock. What were you expecting?

Undisputed icons of rock and roll The Hives are back, channelling the electrifying energy of the group's greatest hits with their first new album in over 10 years.

Their colossal new album, The Death Of Randy Fitzsimmons, reignites the band's lore in arresting fashion, exploring the disappearance of the band's mysterious sixth member Randy Fitzsimmons. Having gone missing some time ago, the band are without their best man, and things are not well in the manor. Maybe, just maybe, the release of new music will get Randy's attention and bring him back from the void...
