小简介

The Hives以其感染自The Stooges风格的庞克摇滚音律已于乐坛行走将近10年的时间。但是这一组瑞典裔摇滚判客与The Strokes和The White Stripes，却直到2000年初期才以黑马之姿成为新一代庞克摇滚的象征性乐团。成立于1993年的The Hives，在团员Randy Fitzsimmons，Nicholaus Arson，Chris Dangerous，Dr. Matt Destruction，Vigilante Carlstroem以及Howlin' Pelle Almqvist以一身准确无误的黑白色系装束型塑之下，于1994年推出了他们首张EP - 「Oh Lord! When? How?」。1997年，他们的完整录音室专辑「Barely Legal」正式发行并随即展开他们首次于美国地区进行得巡回演唱。在另一张EP- 「A.K.A. I-D-I-O-T」发行之后一年，他们沉潜了一段时间后于2001年再以新专辑「Veni, Vidi, Vicious」重返乐界。这张专辑收录了他们极具突破性的单曲作品包括「Hate To Say I Told You So」以及「Main Offender」。这两首单曲相继于美国及英国两地再版发行，并联合一张集结他们早期创作的选辑「Your New Favorite Band」成功进军排行榜。

Eight years into their career, the Hives rose from garage rock stalwarts to one of the trendiest bands of the early 2000s, along with the Strokes and the White Stripes. Mixing arty contrivances such as a strict black-and-white dress code and the guidance of a (possibly imaginary) Svengali named Randy Fitzsimmons with Stooges-inspired rock, the Hives — Nicholaus Arson, Chris Dangerous, Dr. Matt Destruction, Vigilante Carlstroem, and Howlin Pelle Almqvist — formed in 1993 in Fagersta, Sweden, while they were still in their teens. After signing with a subsidiary of the Burning Heart label in 1995, they released their debut EP, Oh Lord! When? How?, the following year. The group switched to Burning Heart for their first full-length, Barely Legal, in 1997; that year they also embarked on their first U.S. tour. After the release of 1998s A.K.A. I-D-I-O-T EP, changes in the bands management put things on hold for a time. However, the Hives returned in 2000 with their second full-length album, Veni Vidi Vicious, which featured the singles Hate to Say I Told You So and Main Offender. The album, along with tours with the like-minded International Noise Conspiracy and the Hellacopters, generated serious buzz around the group, leading to praise from stars as diverse as Noel Gallagher and Courtney Love and a deal with Alan McGees Poptones label in 2001. Stateside, Gearhead Records reissued Barely Legal, A.K.A. I-D-I-O-T, and Hate to Say I Told You So. More touring and the re-release of their singles in the U.K. culminated with the Top Ten debut of Your New Favourite Band, a compilation of songs from their two previous albums and EPs, upon its release in spring 2002. That summer, the Hives returned to the U.S. for another round of live dates before playing the Reading and Leeds festivals, among others. The band spent most of 2003 in the studio and out of the limelight, but they returned with a vengeance in 2004: Your New Favourite Band was reissued in the States by Sire Records; Interscope released the Walk Idiot Walk single and the Hives third full-length, Tyrannosaurus Hives. Late in 2007, The Black and White Album, which featured production work from the Neptunes, arrived.
