The Hives are a Swedish punk/rock band. Their music is rich in rhythms and melodic structures. In some ways it reminds me of the early work of Joe Jackson with his album:Look Sharp. (This did not have the same powerful sound however.) Besides of making very good music they have a great look as well. Always dressed in matching outfits and they have a great stage presence on top of that. The Hives have created their own sound and style and they deserve a place on Music With Quality. Listen to a compilation of their work and enjoy...
