Bebo

The Hives are a rock band from Fagersta, Sweden that first rose to prominence in the early 2000s as a leading group of the garage rock revival. Their breakthrough came with the release of the “best-of” compilation Your New Favourite Band, featuring their most commercially successful song “Hate to Say I Told You So”. The band produces punk-influenced garage rock songs and wear matching black and white suits.

THE HIVES, the curators of that perfectly balanced colour scheme, have been away far too long. During their absence, they have not been mucking about, oh no. They are now ready to bring the BLACK & WHITE again, only more so.

THE HIVES have made a record which has everything that you originally loved them for - kicks, riffs, good times, etc etc etc - while also being snazzy and new and longer and generally different from everything they did before. You might almost say it’s like making the transition from monochrome TV to colour TV, except THE HIVES are more BLACK & WHITE than ever, so that would be misleading.

And of course, you can find their profile in Bebo just right here.
