The Black and White Album

The Hives

High-voltage garage rock meets polished pop production. A sharp, monochromatic explosion of Swedish precision, danceable rhythms, and relentless charismatic arrogance.

October 12, 2007 · Kobalt

Relentless, high-octane confidence with a sharp, mechanical edge.
