Warning: it’s impossible to resist The Hives and their spectacular live show, they’re the best natural antidepressant in the universe. The Swedes tirelessly play banger after banger (like Hate to Say I Told You So, Main Offender, Tick Tick Boom) wearing impeccable suits (that glow in the dark!). Forget everything and let yourself be guided by the always energetic Howlin’ Pelle Almqvist, their indefatigable frontman who makes sure the audience is having as good a time as he is. As fun as they are professional, the musicians shower us with an avalanche of euphoric riffs. Their contagious energy hasn’t waned since their first album in 1997, and we can recommend their most recent, The Death of Randy Fitzsimmons, released last summer – it’s as great as all the ones that have preceded it.
