They are like og (I know everyone says this) keeping rock n roll alive. Their shows always sell out, they still bring the energy, their videos are always interesting and inventive. I remember the big rivalry was The Hives, The Strokes and The Vines. I remember that peaked at the Vmas when they did a "battle of the bands" I'd never checked out The Vines albums past "Highly Evolved" , The Hives always had my ear more, if they have a new album, I'm getting it because you know like a Motorhead or Ac/dc album there will be plenty of tasty riffs and witty lyrics.
