I havent heard their new album nor have I listened to them in a long, long time and although they may not be groundbreaking by any stretch of the imagination they are great pub/party music and a decent live band. Ive always liked their image too.
I couldnt help but laugh when I saw them play Download Festival a few years back. Per Almqvist was exceptionally entertaining in handling somewhat of a diffcult audience. Bands like The Hives are always going to get a lot of stick playing there and crowds at Donington have always had a tendency to greet those bands they dislike with a nice warm, glass of piss.......
