About this album

Little Robbers is a sharp, melodically rich new wave album that cemented The Motels’ place in early-80s pop-rock. Released in 1983, it followed the success of the band’s breakthrough and leaned into Linda Ronstadt-era polish with darker emotional undertones and tighter hooks. The record includes the standout “Suddenly Last Summer”, which became one of the band’s best-known songs and helped carry their commercial profile higher. Balancing polished pop instincts with a restless new wave edge, the album shows The Motels refining a sound that was both radio-ready and emotionally uneasy, making it one of their most enduring releases.
