The Hives

Data updated on 2025-04-24 07:58:39 UTC
Formed in 1993 as young children in a steel industry town in Sweden, their first album, 1997s Barely Legal, opened the door and Veni Vidi Vicious, finished in the first days of the new millennium, convinced the world that rock was saved, earning them platinum albums and legions of fans. Rolling Stone hailed it as one of The Top Albums of the Decade, and Pitchfork touted the massive hit single “Hate to Say I Told You So” among The Top Songs of 2000-2009. They evolved across Tyrannosaurus Hives [2004], The Black and White Album [2007], and Lex Hives [2012], collaborating with everyone from Joshua Homme of Queens of the Stone Age to Pharrell.

The Hives Forever, Forever The Hives is the band’s 7th studio LP, a razor-sharp culmination of their rupturing, signature “powder-keg” (NYT) rock n roll energy.

”We wanted to make a Hives arena album. We have never really tried to do that before. We loved touring with Rolling Stones and AC/DC. That sort of blockbuster is larger than life rock. We thought, maybe we should give that a try. Of course we luckily can't help but sound like The Hives anyway but I think we did it. I really think this is us at the peak of our powers. Who gets to say that 30+ years in? That’s right. Nobody.”
