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
1998's A.K.A. I-D-I-O-T EP, changes in the band's
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
McGee's 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.
