The Hives and the Strokes were riding the same wave over here last year but have sort of slid out of view. The Yeah-Yeah- Yeahs are getting the same kind of buzz right now but we shall see.

fuck the hives, the strokes, and the white stripes. i dont like any of them. ;)
i listen to Gluecifer and The Refused, the bands these kids mimicked... people need to realize who these punk kids were trying to be.
The Hives and the like studied a band called The Refused and tried to mimick them, even down to the dance moves like James Brown during singing. Its putrid to not give respect wheres due. Kids who like a band trying to be that band, its not talent, its called mimmicking. ;)
just because MTV got it, doesnt make it cool.
i hate when bands mimick and get recognition.
The Refused and the Hives are from the same place, the Refused started to blow up so The Hives started to mimick.
fact is fact.
history is history.
look it up, release dates tell it all.
