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.

2024 Remastered Edition of the band's 1981 debut. FIRST-EVER U.S. PRESSING on limited edition Black and White split-colored vinyl. 

 Pitchfork cited "Stands for deciBels" among its list of Top 100 Albums of the 1980s. “The missing link between the proto-power pop of Big Star and the college rock of R.E.M...an unheralded gem”. The dB’s carved out a nice little niche in the genre of power pop while straddling the line between punk and new wave.” -Pop Matters. 

 “[T]he dB’s combined a reverence for British pop and arty post-punk leanings that alternate between minimalism and a love of quirky embellishment, odd sounds, and unexpected twists; Stands for deciBels is clearly a collegiate pop experiment, but rarely is experimentation so enjoyable and irresistibly catchy” - AllMusic. 

 To support this remastered and first-ever US vinyl release, the band will be on tour in the Fall of 2024 in the U.S.
