To Whom It May Concern, Which is everyone.
This message is to inform you that International Rock Sensation The Hives, the best live band on the planet and still your new favourite band, lauded on all continents for their masterful skill and reckless abandon in the rock music field, have today released their latest anthem, Paint A Picture.
Taken from their seventh long-playing opus, The Hives Forever Forever The Hives, which will be released upon the 29th day of August in the year 2025, through the venerable Play It Again Sam, the single is accompanied by a video of the finest quality directed by the esteemed Filip Nilsson & Henry Moore Selder, who previously collaborated with the noble members of The Hives on their global rock ‘n’ roll smash, Hate To Say I Told You So.
Talking about the track, in their own words, The Hives declare that Paint A Picture is: A song about trying to convince people and yourself that living outside of society is a good idea. This song has been a fan favourite for ages among the lucky few who have heard it in concert.

This new future hit single follows previous hit single, Enough Is Enough, out in April to herald the arrival of their new masterpiece, a moment which was marked by a regal unveiling in Mexico City and later a show at the foot of New York’s Rockefeller Center. Another musical triumph, Paint A Picture yet again delivers a shot of high-energy Rock ‘n’ Roll like no-one else on the planet.
