... Let's take it from the top, shall we? Yes, let's!

When, in 2001, they played 250+ shows, wowed audiences from Tokyo to Trondheim, from Glasgow to Georgia, reintroduced rock in the mainstream (No, I mean actual ROCK MUSIC) and truly became everybody and their mama's new favourite band, their plan had already been in action for seven years. Formed in the small industrial town of Fagersta, Sweden in 1993, the Hives, then in their early teens, were saved from boredom and despair by Mr. Randy Fitzsimmons. He came to them with the idea to start a musical group based on everything he and the band found exciting.

After teaching themselves to play instruments and then practising, perfecting and polishing their craft, they released their first album Barely Legal in 1997 to much acclaim. A perfect statement of teenage willpower over pretty much everything else, it was hailed by people fed up with the staleness of contemporary rock. Here was a band with roots but a mind of their own. Style and grace yet swerve and brute force. Not to mention the sheer energy to power the watch on your wrist and the sun in the sky. Touring commenced and took them several laps around Sweden and Europe gathering a cult following that grew steadily upon each visit. Dressed in black and white and looking out of sight the gloves were off and they were ready for anything.

In the year 1999, the Hives have a new bag of tricks and a handful of Fitzsimmons originals. They know exactly what to do - record a record so good the world can't ignore it. They release Veni Vidi Vicious and nothing is ever the same. Rave reviews, more touring and that steadily growing cult following that can no longer fit into the clubs they play. A full year and a half of sold out shows later...

Cue big time UK industry guy and all round music fan Alan McGee (Oasis, Primal Scream, Creation Records) sees the Hives on German TV and decides that this is important. He has the band put together a form of greatest hits for his Poptones label. Your New Favourite Band, as the result is dubbed, catches a sleeping England by surprise. Rock music that is exciting and dangerous not really being the toast of the town lately.

Cue 'Rock is back!' headlines in newspapers and on TV. "We always knew the world would catch on, we just had to wait them in", as the band themselves say. Cue hits "Hate To Say I Told You So" and "Main Offender" and things are drastically different. People in the UK once again connect rock bands with showmanship, excitement and an actual good time. Your new favourite band? Indeed.

Hey, what's up

Are you looking for beats? If you are so don't hesitate, you're just one click away from some of the dopest beats straight from Finland.

This is not spamming or anything because I know there are artists all the time looking for beats that everyone hasn't used already!

So do me and yourself a favor and stop by our page and take a listen, I promise you won't be dissapointed. All beats are free to use for non-profit purposes!

Laudable Sepia Dominical

Laudable Sepia Dominical

Words upon a whitewashed wall
Blood red paint in letters tall

Caught the gaze of passers-by
Made them stop and wonder why

Stirred the old neighbourhood
Chat around their Sunday food

The latest drug or freaky cult?
Whats the hell's it all about


It's the Laudable Sepia Dominical
We hope you'll hear us out.


The stage is set, the lights are down.
Another gig, a different town

It's not quite rock, it hardly rolls,
It doesn't fit the normal mould

A different beat, another sound
Alternative to what's around

The band's in tune, the time has come
To entertain and have some fun.


It's the Laudable Sepia Dominical
We hope you'll hear us out.
