The Hives are a garage rock band from Fagersta, Sweden that emerged in the US and the UK in the early 2000s, but existed for nearly a decade before that, playing punk rock.
The Swedish rock quintet The Hives returned to London this weekend, headlining their largest UK show to date at Alexandra Palace. Supported by the post-punk sharpness of Spiritual Cramp and Leeds’ Yard Act, it was a night that promised so much.
Twenty-five years on from their first UK tour, the Swedish band are at their cartoonish, snarling best, eager to prove themselves rather than wallow in nostalgia
