THE HIVES Schallplatten & CDs

Review: The Hives remain, for many, absolute kings of contemporary rock and roll. For this year's Record Store Day they try and remind us of all that with a reissue of their super Lex Hives album. The record first came back in 2012 and now it has been fully remastered and includes some extra bonus cuts including 'High School Shuffle' and 'Insane'. These sit alongside much loved standouts from the original album like 'Come On!". On top of all that, this special version also comes with a live album A Midsummer Hives Dream, which is a recording of the band playing at New York's Terminal 5. It was a red-hot show that found them in top form and now arrives on vinyl for the first time.
