The Hives recently talked to Rolling Stone about their followup to 2000's "Veni Vidi Vicious." The band is at home in Fagersta, Sweden writing at the moment. Singer Pelle Almqvist described the songwriting to the magazine, "It's a bit stiffer than the last album… Kind of like Devo crossed with Motown." The band plans to begin recording later this spring. Due to the legal trouble caused by their seemingly multiple record deals last year, I'm not sure who has the rights to release this.
