"Shattered Dreams" by Johnny Hates Jazz

In the year 1988, Johnny Hates Jazz came just shy of having the number one song in America. Despite their rapid rise to fame, the band disbanded before the year had even ended. This week, we dive into the short-lived career of the band, exploring their international success, the sudden end of their journey, and how it feels impossible that Matt had never heard this song before. Join us as we piece together the story of a band that left us ALL with shattered dreams. One Hit Thunder is brought to you by DistroKid, the ultimate partner for taking your music to the next level.
