Few bands capture the raw energy of garage rock quite like The Hives.

With sharp guitar riffs, explosive live performances and a healthy dose of attitude, the Swedish rockers helped bring garage rock roaring back into the spotlight in the late ’90s and early 2000s.

Garage rock is all about raw energy, loud guitars and a back-to-basics approach to rock ’n’ roll.

Often rough around the edges and deliberately unpolished, the genre has influenced punk, alternative rock and countless underground bands, proving that you don’t need a complicated production to make a great record.

Did you know the Yardbirds were home to not one, not two, but three future guitar legends?

Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page all played guitar with the band at different points, helping shape the evolution of blues rock and leaving a massive mark on rock music history.

The Yardbirds helped shape the sound of British rock in the 1960s, blending blues, R&B, psychedelia and increasingly heavier guitar-driven sounds.

With legendary guitarists Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page all passing through the band, their influence can still be heard throughout rock music today.

Looking for something with a little more bounce? Boomtown United brings together the infectious energy of Ska with the rhythmic influence of Reggae and the spirit of 2 Tone.

It’s the kind of sound built for dancing, loud speakers and anyone who loves discovering the underground side of the genre.

What happens when Jamaican rhythms meet the energy of British punk and a whole lot of attitude? You get Ska — infectious, upbeat and impossible to sit still to.

With its distinctive offbeat rhythms, driving basslines and punchy horn sections, Ska laid the foundations for 2 Tone and influenced generations of reggae, punk and alternative music.

Did you know? Elizabeth Fraser of Cocteau Twins often sang using words that weren’t actually words.

Rather than focusing on literal lyrics, she used her voice as an instrument, creating sounds and phrases that matched the emotion and atmosphere of the music.

It’s a huge part of what gives Cocteau Twins their unmistakable, dreamlike sound.
