The Swedish amazeballs punk clowns THE HIVES unleashed
their new LP, called THE DEATH OF RANDY FITZSIMMONS
(I still have no clue who that guy is?) today.

UNCUT (British music magazine): “It’s back-to-basics good fun garage rock, and while it’s familiar territory it’s undeniable that the band know their way around a hook.” Score 7/10.

TUTV: Expect a tsunami of Molotov cocktails, punk-o-rama riffage, and yell-along
refrains spit out by primal screamer Pele. No rest for the wicked. Beware, this explosive record can damage your speakers. On the other hand, it’s the ideal soundtrack for banging your poor head against the kitchen wall and/or jumping up and down like a kangaroo on ecstasy.

Alert your neighbours before you start the deafening razzmatazz
and watch out for the anti-decibels police. Lots of riot-gun fun.
