To Whom It May Concern,
Which is everyone.
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 today released their latest anthem, Legalize Living.
Taken from their seventh long-playing opus, The Hives Forever Forever The Hives, which will be released upon the 29th day of August in the year 2025, through the venerable Play It Again Sam, the single is accompanied by a video by esteemed directors Filip Nilsson and Henry Moore Selder who they worked with on their previous smash, Paint A Picture.
Talking about the track, in their own words, The Hives declare:
Have you ever felt as though life is strangling you a little bit every day? Like a tight rollneck or the hands of an invisible garden gnome? Do you feel like they are putting you in ever smaller cages and on ever tighter schedules? Are you relating to Michael Douglas in Falling Down? You are not crazy! Governments all over the world have slowly but surely taken steps to make living itself illegal. Stop normalizing this normalization! Join The Hives in the campaign for the legalization of living across all countries! Things must change now!
Listen to Legalize Living HERE.
This new future favorite also follows their opening proclamation, Enough Is Enough, which was out in April to herald the arrival of their new masterpiece, a moment which was marked by a regal unveiling in Mexico City and later a show at the foot of New York’s Rockefeller Center. Another musical triumph, Paint A Picture yet again delivers a shot of high-energy Rock ‘n’ Roll like no-one else on the planet.
