The Hives Since their days as Swedish garage rock stalwarts, the Hives have made an art out of brash, witty rock & roll. Though some of their choices – a strict black-and-white dress code, the guidance of a (possibly imaginary) Svengali named Randy Fitzsimmons – could have been gimmicky, they backed them up with explosive live performances and a sound inspired by the Stooges, Sonics, and New Bomb Turks. The speedy tempos of 1997's Barely Legal reflected their punk roots, but there were traces of the swaggering style they perfected on 2000's Veni Vidi Vicious, which featured their quintessential song "Hate to Say I Told You So." The early-2000s garage rock revival elevated the band's profile, with 2004's Tyrannosaurus Hives achieving gold sales in multiple countries. They expanded their sound on 2007's The Black and White Album and gave it extra heft on 2012's Lex Hives, but 2023's The Death of Randy Fitzsimmons celebrated the Hives' 30th anniversary with some of their tightest, most charismatic songs.
