The Hives

At the time of their electrifying performance at the Reading Festival in 2012, The Hives had recently released their album "Lex Hives," which came out in 2012, just a few months before this live recording. This album marked a significant moment in their career, showcasing a return to their punk roots while also experimenting with their sound. It's interesting to note that the band had been somewhat in the background since their breakthrough with "Veni Vidi Vicious" in 2000, but with "Lex Hives," they aimed to remind everyone of their high-energy style. Their Reading set featured fan favorites like 'Hate to Say I Told You So' and 'Walk Idiot Walk,' which really electrified the crowd. This performance stands as a testament to their enduring appeal and vibrant stage presence, reviving the spirit of garage rock that they've been known for.
