The Death of Randy Fitzsimmons is The Hives' first release after a decade's hiatus. On 9 May 2023, the first single from the forthcoming album, Bogus Operandi, was published, the sound of which perfectly captures the energy for which the band has won thousands of fans. The Swedes of The Hives are celebrating their 30th anniversary this year, and their furiously garagey, testosterone-saturated punk'n'roll still bites just as effectively.
