You wanna know what the term "new wave" music meant in 1980, look up this album. Not on a lucky streak with charting, he was dropped after this hit and would go on to Geffin for the brilliant All Of A Sudden album. But when you peel the onion back to it's core, there really are just two John Hiatt "new wave" albums, this and it's predecessor, the equally brilliant Slugline and probably just a little better than this. 11 songs, all winners, several would be recorded by other stars between then and now, we encourage you to experience Two Bit Monsters.....The Horror!!
THE HORROR!!
