The Hives' 2002 compilation "Your New Favourite Band" served as their introduction to a global audience, gathering tracks from their earlier Swedish releases.
- "Your New Favourite Band" compiles songs from the band's first three albums: "Barely Legal", "Veni Vidi Vici", and "Ooh La La!" which were previously only available in Sweden.
- The album was released in the United States by Epitaph Records and in Sweden by Burning Heart Records.
- The compilation was a precursor to their international breakthrough album "Rhythm & Rage" (released as "The Black and White Album" in some territories).
Hailing from Fagersta, Sweden, The Hives are a garage rock band known for their high-energy performances and matching black-and-white outfits. In 2002, they were poised to break through internationally with the release of "Your New Favourite Band".
