I've just discovered the Hives!!!!
The Hives are a punk band from Sweden. I just heard their song, "Hate to Say I Told You So." It's awesome.
Can anybody tell me more about them?
On a side note, I also heard a group called Quarashi on MTV2. It was a rap group from Iceland. They weren't bad either but they sounded a lot like the Beastie Boys.

The Hives have been around for ages. Veni Vidi Vicious just got released domestically in the U.S. last week. You can pick it up for $7 no problem.
My feelings on the Hives? Snoozers.

I enjoy the Hives and think they are decent enough, but Quarashi kinda pissed me off. I thought that first song "Stick Em Up" was ok so i downloaded their album and the rest of it sounds like really bad Beastie Boys music.

I will give them a little credit though; I'd rather have commercial radio playing knock-off Clash bands than knock-off Limp Bizkit bands.

Love the Hives. Got turned on to them by othermusic.com
I don't hear the similarities to the Clash at all. No reggae or dub influences. I think my personal favorite Hives song is "a.k.a. I.D.I.O.T."

I enjoy them also. It won't change the world, but the music is a lot of fun.

I've downloaded a couple of songs from these guys and they rock pretty good. They are playing here in Baltimore at the Recher Theatre. It's a $2 show. I might have to check them out if it's not sold out.
