The Hives March 2, 2008

Sporting black shirts and trousers with white ties and shoes, punk revivalists The Hives combine the streetwise edge of The Velvet Underground with the raw power of The Stooges. Already major stars in their native Sweden, The Hives are taking on America. The Donnas are a young, female, punk-rock quartet whose propulsive rock beats bring to mind the Ramones and the Runaways.
