The Hives "Barely Legal" (25th Anniversary) Color:Blood Red originally released in 1981Barely 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.
