Reminds me of my 12 year old son explaining to me how he likes "punk". I cued up the Sex Pistols and the Ramones and let him hear punk for himself. He informed me that was old grunge, punk was now and had nothing to the black things spinning around on my Oracle! Heathen swine, I sent him to his room until he's 25
The Hives:Real Deal or just a tease???
I picked up The Hives CD, as a TAS recommended recording, what a blast!!! four of the songs are definitely 60s style (tracks,1,4,6,10) , though they remind me of the Romantics of the late 70s. The rest were 70s/90s punk junk( to me anyway). Also, picked up the Strokes(awful, punk junk), The White Stripes,, although no one particular song was a stand out, they were more in tune with the 60s style of garage bands. The song about the Big Three was hilarious.
So the question, are my hopes running too high and these groups one shot wonders?? and is this type of music just a shot in the dark??? If not are there any other bands similar to this type, 60s garage band, in your face swagger ( Standells' "Sometimes Good Guys Don't Wear White"
or Them' "Gloria"). Are the kids getting hip again???
