The Hives x Alternative Press

The Swedish rock band The Hives sit down with AP's Anna Zanes to talk about touring with longtime friends My Chemical Romance, playing the biggest shows of their career, and how rejecting grunge and nu metal in the ’90s helped shape their explosive sound. They dive into the origins of their signature suits, their relentless live energy, and the philosophy behind their larger-than-life persona, reflecting on decades of chaos, swagger, and staying unapologetically loud.
