The Hives Back On Track Following 'Terrible Couple Of Years'

Swedish rockers The Hives have revealed that the past couple of years have been a ‘terrible’ time for the band, but are now back on track and hoping to make a much-wanted comeback.
The band’s last album came out five years ago in 2007, and the band have been pretty much out of the picture since then, with no real updates or news. But, luckily for fans, they’ve working on their fifth studio album ‘Lex Hives’, which will hit shelves on June 5th, and have left their ‘dark ages’ behind them.
“It's been a terrible couple of years for the band,” frontman Howlin' Pelle Almqvist told NME. “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.”
The site then asked the singer what exactly the ‘problems’ were, to which he replied: “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.”
