The best video Europe's rock band, THE HIVES have created. Maybe even the final nail in the coffin of an art form before AI does it 'better and almost as well'.The secret to them being forever finally disclosed. Watch now and be aghast and amazed!”

The band said of the album, “This message is to inform you that International Rock Sensation The Hives, the best live band on the planet and still your new favourite band, lauded on all continents for their masterful skill and reckless abandon in the rock music field, have once again, sooner than you expected, created a new body of work the likes of which have never been heard or indeed probably will again. A new record so full of energy, joy, anger and life that you will be questioning reality as you have known it. They finally did it. Every single song a single, every single single a hit, every hit a direct hit in the face of the man.” - source : Apple Music
