The Hives seem to elicit a sense of “been there, done that” from many music fans, but I have to say you can’t keep good garage rock down. I’ve never seen the Hives, but my friend still tells the story of when he saw them and Howlin’ Pelle had more fluid coming out of and off of his body than any human he’d ever seen. There’s something to be said for a performer who’s not afraid to break a sweat.
