HIVES

And here it is.Veni Vidi Vicious, the second righteous garage punk rock effort for Burning Heart from Sweden's finest attired rockmachine, The Hives. Coming from the most rock'n'roll band on the planet, you can be rest assured that this could only be the best rock'n'roll album of the year and YOU need it! With the release of Veni Vidi Vicious, it's obvious to anyone with ears that a new day has come not just for The Hives, but for rock and roll itself. Few who have heard the album can resist the volatile charm of songs like Supply And Demand, Hate To Say I Told You So and Die, All Right!. For The Hives, with their sound like a velvet glove with brass knuckles- brutal and sophisticated- are the new cardinals of cool. Frantic punk and irrepressible energy struts its stuff through this album from woe to go. Explosive, cocky guitars and infectious sing-a-long choruses delivered with squealing howls drive these 12 tracks based on youth, energy and taste, with a bag of tricks borrowed from 50's R'N'R, 60's garage, 70's punk, new wave and everything after. All this is then moduled into a sound that is approximately 100% The Hives. Short, sharp and the most ear splittingly good thing you've heard. Punk rock music avec ka-boom. One by one, the great countries of Europe, the U.K and the U.S have fallen victim to The Hives' musical onslaught, their citizens transfixed by the band's aggressive live spectacle, excellent haircuts and Howlin' Pelle's million-watt Iggy Pop like charisma and wails.
