Royal Red vinyl.<br/><br/>In the twenty-five years since The Hives exploded around the world, they have sold out stadiums and shared stages with everyone from AC/DC to The Rolling Stones. SPIN calls The Hives "the best live band on the planet" and Howlin' Pelle "the greatest frontman in rock," and the BBC dubbed the band "a force of nature." Rolling Stone named Veni Vidi Vicious one of the Top 100 Albums of the decade and "Hate To Say I Told You So" earned a spot on Pitchfork's Top 500 Songs of the 2000's. They have sold millions of albums world-wide with multiple RIAA Gold-certifications. In the time since Lex Hives, the band has released 2019's double A-side "I'm Alive"/"Good Samaritan" as well as a live album via Third Man Records, and embarked on a series of global tours. The Death Of Randy Fitzsimmons marked a true renaissance for the band in 2023 hitting #1 in Sweden, #2 in the UK and worldwide touring. If that was THE COMEBACK, The Hives new record is all set to be THE TAKEOVER!

Vicious Rumors: The Devil's Asylum [Vinyl LP]

After a year of creativity and musical exploration, the newly formed band &Ouml;stersj&ouml;ar is ready to release their debut vinyl, simply titled &Ouml;stersj&ouml;ar. The record is released on Coop Records Gotland and captures the band&rsquo;s unique sound, described as a train in motion - driven, rhythmic, and infused with krautrock influences. Musically, &Ouml;stersj&ouml;ar evokes a fusion of Joy Division&rsquo;s cold, pulsing rhythms and Hawkwind&rsquo;s expansive sonic landscapes, with each track offering an atmospheric and hypnotic journey. The album was recorded live during a December evening at the legendary Sandkvie Studio, where the band - together with producer Mattias B&auml;rjed (guitarist in The Soundtrack of Our Lives and Refused), along with Mikael Lyander and Samuel Wiz&egrave;n at the mixing desk - captured the true DNA of the group in the moment.
