The Hives name new album

The Hives have revealed that the title of their forthcoming new album will be 'The Black And White Album'.

The album will be released in the UK on October 8, and preceded by a single, 'Tick Tick Boom', released on September 24.

The band had previously talked about the frustrations they encountered while making the album, which was recorded in over seven different studios.

The band have launched a new website to coincide with the build-up to the release of the album.
