The Hives are living through "terrible years"

The Hives singer Pelle Almqvist claimed that the last two years – that they spent recording new studio effort Lex Hives – turned out to be really terrible for the band. At the same time, he expressed hope that once album is released everything will be fine.

"It's been a terrible couple of years for the band. We're out of the dark ages now though, but we've had a lot of problems. Problems of all kinds. Rock 'n' roll kind of problems, but we're ready to go now", said Pelle Almqvist.

He added: "All the stuff that happens in rock bios, all the things that seem like problems for a band, all that sort of thing. It's the same band though, now and forever. We had every other problem, but not that one. It's the same band. We feel really good now, strong, happy and excited".

Lex Hives will be released in June. It is set to be preceded by the recently not announced single that is scheduled to be unveiled in May.

The Hives have recently premiered another track from Lex Hives, titled Go Right Ahead.
