Hives reveal title of new album, single

The Hives are continuing the rapid depletion of original monochromatic LP titles by naming their upcoming full-length The Black and White Album, reflecting the tones of their occasionally Colonel Sanders-esque wardrobe. Black and White hits UK shelves Oct. 8, preceded by the single “Tick Tick Boom” on Sept. 24. Folks in the states will have to piddle around the brand new, grayscaled Hives website until an official U.S. date is announced. So far, the only question answered on the appropriate Q&A page is “How is your corn dog?,” to which the band collectively responded “Our corn dog has always been: Tender, juicy, delicious, crispy on the outside, world number one and unbeatable.”
