The Everblack Podcast caught up with Nicholaus Arson from The Hives during the band’s long-awaited return to Australia after nine years. In the interview, Arson discusses their latest album The Hives Forever Forever The Hives, collaborating with Beastie Boys’ Mike D, and embracing the band’s raw “real sound” in an age of digital perfection. He also dives into the chaos and precision of their live shows, frontman Pelle Almqvist’s legendary onstage presence, the Swedish music scene (including metal) that shaped them, their iconic stage outfits, and what’s next as The Hives embark on a massive world tour.
