Aug 25, 2025The Hives Forever Forever The Hives is vibrant, loud and sure to destroy dance floors worldwide. [Sep 2025, p.76]

Record CollectorAug 25, 2025Give or take a couple diversions (Bad Call, Legalize Living) into stomping 70s glam, the Swedes deliver the usual hi-jinks with the remorselessness of an overwound clockwork toy. [Sep 2025, p.103]

Aug 25, 2025The title track, inspired by the band's current motto, is a powerful evocation of The Strokes going electro, while Path Of Most Resistance taps a kooky, Devo-ish guitar hook. If Your gym playlist needs refreshing, look no further. [Sep 2025, p.82]

Aug 25, 2025This latest offering is as uncorrupted a rock album as any released this year, 33 minutes of breakneck, tyre-screeching anthems.
-
UncutAug 25, 2025There's barely a track above three-minutes as it charges along with spiky intent, bursting with energy. [Sep 2025, p.32]
