“Bouncy, shouty, instantly recognisable garage-rock stompers” – The Guardian
‘Playful, juvenile and nails the brief.’ – 4* NME
“Sounding as undiluted as ever. Their new album is filled with straight-to-the-vein rock and roll riffs and Pelle’s distinctively angular vocal shouts that even verge into rap territory thanks to his machine-gun delivery style” – CLASH
“The album unfurls via a series of taut yet infectious riffs, pummelling drums and impassioned
high-octane vocals” – Uncut
‘The Hives’ subtle reinvention thrills and thrives on The Death Of Randy Fitzsimmons.’ – The Line Of Best Fit
Today, The Hives release a show-stopping video for their swaggering single ‘Rigor Mortis Radio’. The video directed by Filip Nilsson finds the band in like never before: synchronized dance decked out in their matching signature suits showing off their best boyband meets Bob Fosse moves as they strut through the streets of South London – watch here.
The video comes off the back of their Summer support tour with Foo Fighters and the announcement of their 2024 North American fall headline tour. The Hives’ largest headline arena concert of their career is coming up at Mexico City’s 20,000 cap Palacio De Los Deportes on Oct 8th. The band’s North American 2023 tour sold out entirely within 15 minutes. See list of full tour dates here.
Last year, The Hives released their first album in over a decade, The Death of Randy Fitzsimmons, which earned critical praise from The Guardian, NME, Rolling Stone, New York Times, Uncut, Stereogum and more.
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 2000’s. They have sold millions of albums world-wide with multiple RIAA Gold-certifications. In the time since Lex Hives, the band has released 2019’s double A-side “I’m Alive”/“Good Samaritan” as well as a live album via Third Man Records, and embarked on a series of global tours. The Death Of Randy Fitzsimmons marks a true renaissance.
The Hives are Chris Dangerous, Vigilante Carlstroem, Nicholaus Arson, Howlin’ Pelle, and The Johan And Only.
