The Hives
The Hives
Fagersta, SErock, alternative
1.2bn all-time streams (9 Feb '26)
Since their days as Swedish garage rock stalwarts, the Hives have made an art out of brash, witty rock & roll.
Though some of their choices -- a strict black-and-white dress code, the guidance of a (possibly imaginary) Svengali named Randy Fitzsimmons -- could have been gimmicky, they backed them up with explosive live performances and a sound inspired by The Stooges, Sonics, and New Bomb Turks.
