okay... the article is from 1998..so yeah they hadn't been that popular at that time...but at least that popular that they got almost a whole page in the visions mag... okay they don't really say "new" things...nic is talking about how they got to burning heart, about randy, the importance of the lyrics, if they are a political band, that they are going to tour with refused and no fun at all and the author complains that barely legal doesn't got out as a vinyl-lp....that's pretty much it and some introducing stuff... so if you're interested in anything of that i could translate the passage for you....if you don't care that my english is not perfect

okay finally i translated it...i know that it sounds sometimes really wired...but my dictionary hadn't known all words i needed, the author used colloquial speech expressions...and yes though i have english since 8 years it's still far away from being perfect... whatever...here it is from visions 02/98: "After Gluecifer, Turbonegro and the Hellacopters have opened the doors for greasy scandinavien bands with a wired humour the Hives are going to find open ears, too. They get their songs from an impulse of an supernatural being named Randy Fitzsimmons and the musicians have names like Dr. Matt Destruction and Chris Dangerous. At being foolish the quintet from the swedish town Fagersta can keep up but in the musical aspect they go a different way. Although they share the audience with the bands that are mentioned at the beginning and they admire Turbonegro as their idols, the Hives don’t need the metal debauchery and play punkrock in the style of the New Bomb Turks: straight and without any roundabout way. The guitarist Nicholaus Arson explains the Hives-song as being “simple, straight and short with a lot of energy”. Although being just 20 years old he’s the oldest member of the band and can look back at a five-year bandhistory. “Our second demo we recorded with Mattias from Millencolin and that’s how it got to the Burning Heart headquarter. We’ve been asked if we want to do a single for the “sidekicks”-label, so we recorded it in febuary ’95. After that the Burning Heart people offered us to produce a whole album. That was in Summer and since that things went pretty well for us.” No miracle, cause with light-hearted ‘aah-whou-whou-whou-whou’- chorus and a monster-like tempo the Hives spray tons of juvenile charm - but that’s not where their qualitys end. Cause Barely Legal, the bare half hour long debutalbum is waiting with a garage-like but not sloppy production of Fireside-head Pelle Gunnerfeldt and knows how to avoid boredom with the occasional use of the piano and a trip to the surf-people. If you believe the confusing and contradictory statements of Nicholaus Arson all that is not really a earning of the band. When i wanted to know about the musical idols and influences he tells me about Randy. “The thing is that we don’t write the songs on our own. We get an impulse from a supernatural creature. His name is Randy Fitzsimmons and he is an fictitious figure. But at least it’s our part to play the songs and that’s when they become punkrock. But Mr. Fitzsimmons also seems to have strong-willed day, because when we talk later about that Nicholas suddenly says that the divine ghost “controls us and brings us to play our songs like he wants them to be.” Between Nicholaus has to get the story in that way that he is able to answer questions about the lyrics. At first he refers that the band nevertheless give their bodys for the realization and than he gets buisness-like: “The lyrics are really very important to us. Generally i think the lyrics are at least 50% of a good song. With funny words and witty rhymes you can get a good song to be a great song.” The Hives don’t see themselves as a political band at all. “Essentially our songs are about asking someone to go to hell. You can write good lyrics about those topics, too.” At least we can agree on the fact that their songs have an ‘we against the others’-attitude and that the members of the band don’t like politicians. After all they also spare us lovesongs from puberty. The whole thing is possible to see live in march on the Volvopalooza-Tour with their labelmates No Fun At All, Refused and Liberator. At least i have to mention that Barely Legal is only able to get as a CD though the sound of the Hives is perfect for a vinyl-release. But since Sweden is populated obviously almost exclusively by vinyl-philistines, confines Burning Heart to bring music to the people only on the digital way. But they plan to have licence-deals with labels in other countries and then Barely Legal finally will turn on the turntables."
