The Hives Release New Track ‘Rigor Mortis Radio’

The Hives release sharp, swaggering new track, ‘Rigor Mortis Radio’, the third single from their upcoming album, ‘The Death Of Randy Fitzimmons’ – out August 11.

After tearing up stadiums across the UK with Arctic Monkeys, as well as a monumental Other Stage performance at Glastonbury Festival last month, The Hives release their brand new single ‘Rigor Mortis Radio’ – the third off their highly anticipated album, ‘The Death Of Randy Fitzsimmons’, which arrives August 11th via FUGA. 

An absolute stomper of a track, ‘Rigor Mortis Radio’ is a swaggering singalong constantly shifting gears. It follows the sublime previous singles ‘Bogus Operandi‘, and ‘Countdown To Shutdown‘. You can stream and download ‘Rigor Mortis Radio’ here, and watch the live visualiser below:
