The Hives: Discipline in the dress, anarchy in the amplifier

ByJohn

With those Complete in black and whitewhich seem uniform of a crazy orchestra, the Hives rise on the stage as if each button was a stroke of the rolling and each turn of the jacket an agreement pulled to the limit. A few seconds are enough for those same “uniforms” to come, ideally, torn by the pressing rhythm and by the metronomic fury of their songs, dismembered by the counterpoint between guitars with a close plettrata and voices that throw themselves on the public. There is in Howlin ‘skin and partners one constant suspension between the formal discipline of their dress and the melodic anarchy of their incedea tension that is always resolved in sudden explosions, as if the stage was a crazy vinyl that, instead of rigor, creates new grooves, dancing fractures where everything becomes refractory to the laying and arranged only to the race. An encyclopedia would ascribe the band under the label of the rock garage or garage punk, but No definition can capture vertigo coming from a Hives concert or the turbine that releases from their album. Each time it’s a surprise: unpredictability could be the only word capable of describing the moves of Swedish training. It is no coincidence that the title of the new studio work, coming out on August 29, is “The Hives Forever Forever the Hives” – Literally” Hives forever, forever the Hives ” – An infinite echo that reiterates a sound and a presence without borders. To get the next album, There is no more faithful vehicle than a stage: for this reason the group, waiting to return to concert in Italy in the autumn, he entrusted to Rockol the recording of an intimate concertin a Mexican club, to anticipate the new songs live.

“We had a lot of fun trying some of our new songs for the very first time during a live in Mexico,” said the Hives:

“We can’t wait to bring complete live experience to Italy this October. We hope to see you there!”.

To a small number of fansbetween pieces taken from the previous album “The Death of Randy Fitzsimmons” such as “Bogus operandi” and “Countdown to Shutdown”, in addition to the 2000 classicone “Hate to Say i Told You So”, The Hives made you listen In their truest form the new ones “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH” And “Paint to Picture“. These last two songs have already been published as the first advances of the disc, loading the public properly.

About “Paint A Picture”released on June 17, the band said: “It is a song that talks about the attempt to convince others and yourself that living on the margins of society is a good idea. This song has always been a favorite of fans among the lucky few who have heard it live “.

“Everyone is a Little Fucking Bitch / and I’m Getting Sick and Tired of this”, are the first verses of the individual forerunner “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH“, Which officially open” The Hives Forever Forever the Hives “to underline immediately that the Hives did not lose their authenticity.

But there were no doubts: already the only incipit of a press release from the Hives is all a program.

“To all interested parties, that is: to all of you,
This message serves to inform you that international rock sensation The Hivesthe best live band on the planet and once again your favorite band, acclaimed on all continents for its skill and wild energy with which the rock scene dominates, has created a new musical corpus as never before they felt before … and probably never feel again.

A new album so full of energy, joy, anger and life that will make you question reality as you have known it so far. Each single song is a single, every single a success, every success a direct blow to the face at hexablishment “.

“The Hives Forever Forever the Hives”, the group’s seventh study work, was composed in Sweden and includes thirteen songs that “were made with dedication, unconsciousness and skills” in collaboration with the famous producers Gunnerfeldt skin And Mike D of the Beastie Boys. The disc took shape at the studies of Yung Lean/Year0001 and to the famous RiksMixNingsverketthe study in Stockholm that bears the name of Benny Andersson of the Abba. The Hives recorded the new effort under the guidance of their historical collaborator, Gunnerfeldt skinknown for his work with Viagra Boys, Yung Lean and Elvira. In addition, an exceptional guest participated in the creation of the disc, Mike D of the legendary Beastie Boys, who welcomed the band into his study on the coasts of Malibu. And not least, also Josh Homme of the Queens of the Stone Age He offered his precious advice.

Formed by Howlin ‘skin, Chris Dangerous, The Johan and Only, Nicholaus Arson And Vigilante Carlstroemthe Hives do not miss an opportunity to remember that “according to the unforgettable Joe Strummer”, they are the ones who have saved the rock ‘n’ roll. And if doubts remain, I can be remedied by seeing the group in action on stage in Italy, when he will be the protagonist of Concert scheduled for 29 October at the Alcatraz in Milan.
