‘A Christmas Duel’ will be available on 12/2 via The Orchard. The Hives explain more via this official statement: *It may sound weird and come as a surprise to some, but we had to. It came to us. It landed in our lap and was way too good to shake or toss. We knew we had to record it. A sign if you will.*
