The Hives

It's been nearly two decades since the Swedish rock-n-roll heroes The Hives unleashed their debut album on the world and almost 5 years since new music has been released. Now, they will drop TWO intoxicatingly brash new songs, "I'm Alive" and "Good Samaritan", on a limited edition double A-side 7" via Third Man Records. Both tracks were produced & mixed by Dave Sardy (LCD Soundsystem, Wolfmother) in Los Angeles.In the twenty 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 frontman Pelle Almqvist "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 sold millions of albums world-wide with multiple RIAA Gold-certifications.Just ended run of sold out shows with Arctic Monkeys in Mexico & in USA with Refused. European festival run is coming this summer and the band will finish recording this fall.Packaging: Full-color foldover sleeve, standard weight vinyl
