A hearty hunk of hooligan rock for beer-lobbers, pit-all set fist-throwers and 24 hour goons: ‘A goon in the day time / A great in the night’.
The Hives – Countdown To Shutdown
Self-explained as a “versatile banger for all your summer rock needs”, Countdown To Shutdown is significantly less entertaining-in-the-festival-sun, and far more third-working day-competition-sleaze, as you understand to settle for the ever-thickening layer of grime on your unwashed pores and skin, and immerse you into all the squalor and shenanigans. In a assertion, the Swedish garage rockers provide it up as a soundtrack for a lot of predicaments, be it for “economic collapse” or “the weekend bender you have been ready for”. Both way, chaos is imminent.
