Description
2024 Remastered Edition of the band's 1981 debut. CD features "Judy", a non-LP bonus track.

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 release, the band will be on tour in the fall of 2024 in the U.S.

1. Black And White
2. Dynamite
3. She’s Not Worried

Gone in Canada? It's still showing here in the States.

Try this alternative upload of the remastered track, maybe it will work for you:

If I can find a Moe Berg interview where he talks about The dB's, I'll post that for you. :)
