“Every single song a single, every single a hit, every hit a direct hit in the face of the man”: The Hives big up their new Mike D-co-produced record

Swedish garage rockers The Hives have announced their return. They have a new album out in August, titled, with their customary self-effacement, ‘The Hives Forever Forever The Hives’.

It’s their seventh in total and follows comparatively hot on the heels of their last, The Death Of Randy Fitzsimmons, in 2023. Interestingly, it’s co-produced by ex-Beastie Boy Mike D and features contributions from Queens Of The Stone Age’s Josh Homme.
