My Music Monday

The Hives have been around forever it seems. In actuality, it's been around 30 years, but that's a long time. 

Save one member, everyone has been in place since 1993 - and even the person who left did so in 2013.  They've had fun with a phantom sixth band member who is credited with all the songwriting and band management, but in reality the writing is left up to their guitarist. 

Their musical output isn't huge. They had a release in 2023, but the one before that was 2012. There are only six albums in the 30 years they've been around. 

Today's selection, "Rigor Mortis Radio" comes off their last disk. I like the song, and while this might put many off, it's got a punk-vibe. And while the band would categorize as punk, for the song, I wouldn't call it out-and-out punk. It's much more melodic than anything full-on punk.  When I can run again, it will be on a playlist. But I must have played the song 3-4 dozen times in the last week. 

But I'm loving the video. It's rare you a video where the band actually looks like they're having fun - I mean, unless they are OK Go.  .....and they really know how to move. Like really know how.
