Propeller Records

Pioneering New Zealand independent label operating from 1980 to 1983, Propeller Records is widely recognized as the first of the post-punk NZ indies. Although the label ceased operations after three years, it has continued to release various compilations over the years. Its subsidiaries, Huh Records and Joy Records, have been actively signing and releasing new artists since then. Initially distributed by Ode Records and later by Festival Records (NZ) Ltd., Propeller Records is currently distributed by DRMNZ. The label is owned by Simon Grigg.

The Db's are a US American power pop and jangle pop group who rose to prominence in the late 1970s and 1980s. Originally from Winston-Salem, North Carolina, the band was formed in New York City in 1978. With their catchy melodies and energetic sound, they quickly gained a dedicated following.

After a hiatus of 25 years, The Db's reunited with their original lineup in 2012 to release their first new studio album in three decades. This marked an exciting return for fans who had been eagerly awaiting new music from the band.

Influenced by bands like Shoes, Let's Active, and The Plimsouls, The Db's have carved out their own unique place in the power pop genre. Their music is characterized by infectious hooks, harmonies, and clever songwriting that continues to captivate audiences today.

23 Tracks of Remastered Early Singles, Demos, and Live Recordings with insert or booklet.

"What we have here are home and field recordings of The dB’s. Most of these tracks predate the release of Stands For Decibels by two to three years and were the basis of the signing of the band to Albion Records (UK) in 1980. Some songs are being released to the public for the first time in this package. Now, almost thirty years after a number of these tracks first saw the light of day on Rhino Records, we find ourselves in the position of releasing the earliest of these selections from our archives to a whole new audience. It’s the first time most have been on vinyl. The live recordings were found after months of Chris sifting through a trove of ancient cassettes, and we are glad to be able to include these key songs from those early years." - Peter Holsapple, The dB’s - Durham, NC - 2021
