a complex and cohesive blend of the artists' distinct musical ideas

Songs like "No End In Sight" and "Suck You Dry" made it clear these guys were a punk band at heart

The Hives "Barely Legal" (25th Anniversary) Color:Blood Red a complex and cohesive blendBarely Legal is the debut album from The Hives! A teenage symphony from a band who from day one knew what energy, attitude and real punk rock was all about. The record shot thru the punk community like a runaway locomotive, with faster than fast blistering punk that had the punks cheering and raising bottles and cans, but left most of the mainstream going oh, well, what? Reissued on blood red vinyl to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the release.
