Hives’ new album will be a cross between THE SEX PISTOLS
and Hives, NME can reveal.
The group are currently in Sweden recording the follow-up to their last offering, ‘Your New Favorite Band’, and vocalist Howlin’ Pelle Almqvist has told NME.COM that they have already laid down the bulk of the tracks.
Speaking backstage at the NME Awards, where Kraftwerk picked up Best International Band, Pelle said: “We’re in cold Sweden at the moment making our new record.
“We’ve done quite a lot of singles for the album already but we keep changing some things around.
“The new stuff is like The Sex Pistols meets Detroit Cobras meets[a][/a].”
Pelle revealed that the band would be putting touring on the backburner for the next few months to concentrate on finishing the album, which they aim to release in the autumn.
“We’re hoping to get it out around September,” he added.
