The Hives

The hives are fecking cool.

I really love the beatsteaks. They're a Berlin band, but they sing in English. Very much the new rocky-pop stuff, with good dashes of Punk.
Hand in Hand or Sway are their best songs.
And any Franz Ferdinand fans here? They're pretty nift.

The Hives are great, but I'll admit to not having heard the new album. Live they are one of the best bands I've ever seen.

Would I be shallow if I admitted that I liked their style better than their music?
(With the possible exception of walk idiot walk, which is just dandy)

doesnt their new song sound just like the who's cant explain?

They put on quite the live show too.

Rocket from the Crypt
Rocket from the Tombs

also i think that The Soundtrack of Our Lives is cooler than the Hives, but i'm opinionated.

more good times:
Ted Leo and the Pharmicists.
Crimson Sweet
Soledad Brothers

I just booked tickets to see them in manchester on 24th sept. Saw them at Leeds in 2001/2?! They were both awesome and hilarious. Not heard T.Hives yet, is it any good??

The hives get me going like no other, I can type like the wind when i have them playing in my ear. They make my head rock from song to song, except for find another girl(just weird.). I can't wait to hear new music from them!!
I know this band isn't for everybody, that just makes me like em more.
