The Hives unveil new single 'Countdown To Shutdown'

With their long-awaited new album set to land in the coming months, The Hives have now dropped the next cut to be lifted from their forthcoming full-length.

Speaking about the new offering, frontman Howlin’ Pelle said, “The countdown to the financial collapse? The countdown to the weekend bender you’ve been waiting for? The countdown to your favourite sports competition? The Hives have you covered with Countdown To Shutdown. A versatile banger for all your summer rock needs. Approximately 37% more effective than the closest competitor and sure to help your Q2 and Q3 results. Buy now and watch the stock rise!”
