THE HIVES

Artist Information

To recap: THE HIVES first imposed their B&W vision in the late 1990’s, touring Sweden (their home nation) and Germany like crazy, until 2001, when they took the world by storm alongside strapping young rockers like The Strokes and White Stripes. Their first two records were collected on a British compilation, Your New Favourite Band, which went not silver, gold or even multi-platinum, but diamond! Yeah! From it, came the hits Supply And Demand, Main Offender and Hate To Say I Told You So.

With 2004’s Tyrannosaurus Hives, they successfully patted down the earth around the flag they’d placed atop this measly globe, consolidating their repute for rockin’ brouhaha with further hits – Walk Idiot Walk and Two-Timing Touch & Broken Bones.

They continued to gain plaudits from the Hip Hop world (Pharrell) and onwards... Now they look to conquer Hyde Park. Yeah!
