(New York, NY) - Rock n' roll fans around the globe can click here to check out the exclusive worldwide premiere of hard rockers Monster Truck's brand new track, "Things Get Better" on RevolverMag.com today.  The bluesy, soulful song is taken from the band's forthcoming sophomore album SITTIN' HEAVY which is set for release on February 19th on Dine Alone Records in North America, Australia and New Zealand and via Mascot Records/Mascot Label Group in Europe.  Of "Things Get Better" Monster Truck frontman Jon Harvey commented, "The song is about the current state of the world.  There will be no future without radical change.  Maybe Bono can help..."  Guitarist Jeremy Widerman added, "It's a message of hope in the real face of adversity that seems to be around the corner these days.  Not just a reminder to take nothing for granted but also to be aware that through struggle and perseverance comes triumph."  Click here to access single artwork.
