The Hives - Bogus Operandi (Official Music Video)

[@thehivestv]

We left the throne for a decade just to prove that we could. No one sat on it, so we did, again. If you are feeling like you are number one, get ready to be number two because we are back! It feels good to have the electricity coursing through our veins once again. All synapses firing in all directions. The unfamiliar combination of words The Hives and New Album finally together again in a way that makes sense and rings true. The initial test results are in, confirmed and through the roof!!! 'The Death of Randy Fitzsimmons', out Aug 11th. Pre order here, pre order now! found.ee/TheHives

[@TheZenomeProject]

I'm normally not the most nostalgic person, but The Hives are one of the few groups from my middle school years, right around the time that I started listening to material outside of mainstream radio, that I genuinely get that feeling. It certainly doesn't hurt that they put out a song THIS great in the year 2023.

[@caileanbernard473]

Same. My aunt made me a mixtape when I was a kid that had a bunch of shit on it (Hives, Misfits, early White Stripes, Rancid, I can't remember what else) but my favourite off of that was always The Hives and I've been listening to them ever since. Tyrannosaurus Hives and Veni Vidi Vicious I listened to continuously in early HS. Man, I'd love to find that tape again...

[@lazylion420]

always wished there was a music festival that exclusively featured The Hives, The Strokes, The Vines, The Killers, The Darkness, and Franz Ferdinand... I'm in love with this distinctive sound

Instant classic. The Hives do what they do so well that I think it's easy to miss how much effort it takes to look and sound this effortless. They have spent the past decade honing these new tracks into killing machines. To paraphrase Pelle, we're gonna die.

[@MickKedian]

Here after watching these guys support the Artic Monkeys last night, Wow, completely blown away…. I’m a new Hives fan. Such energy, travelled home with Bogus Operandi in my head, will be buying The Death Of Randy Fitzsimmons CD later and checking out their future gigs.

I remember being around 20 years old and hearing/seeing Main Offender for the first time on the music channel 'Q' and thinking what the fuck is this? (in a good way). I'd never even heard of The Hives and Hate to say I told you so had completely passed me by. Loved them instantly. But, life took its toll on me 😂, I aged and they disappeared from the scene. Then, a couple of months ago I took my daughter to see the Arctic Monkeys at Hillsborough Park, not even knowing who was supporting them 😂. Best surprise ever. They were absolutely fantastic. Anyway, that's my life story.

It's Saturday morning and I'm enjoying a great breakfast. Then I discover that there will be a new The Hives album. Then I discover that there is already a song on KZbin. The song is great and so is the video. A real, proper video! Not just the band in some warehouse. Great weekend!

@@zeusarts_illustration yeah, it often goes bad, but stagnation is worse than trying something new and failing, imo. Imagine if The Beatles, David Bowie, or Radiohead stuck to their original sound. The Hives are a fun, light hearted band. They can stick to one sound because they don't have much musical ambition. They have one goal, and that's to be fun. But if you're a band that wants to make a deeper connection or make people feel something profound, you have to explore and broaden your musical goals.
