The Hives

The Hives are a Swedish rock band formed in 1993, known for a high-energy blend of garage rock, punk and classic rock and roll. Their sound emphasizes jagged, propulsive guitar riffs, driving rhythms and a confrontational, charismatic vocal delivery, matched by tightly choreographed, theatrical live performances and a distinctive stage image often featuring coordinated outfits. They are commonly associated with the early 2000s garage rock revival.
