Review

Entertainment Weekly (2/8/02, p.77) - "...STANDS is a near-perfect album....REPERCUSSION is more refined...their charms can be cheaply appreciated on this welcome CD set of both albums..." - Rating: A-

Title Note

The dB's: Peter Holsapple, Chris Stamey (vocals, guitars, keyboards); Will Rigby (vocals, drums); Gene Holder (guitar, bass).

In the early 1980s, when New Wave was giving Big Star-loving power-poppers a new lease on life, the dB's emerged as leaders of the pack. While bands like the Knack were content to sport skinny ties and come off like a postmodern Fab Four, the dB's combined the lessons learned from '60s popcraft with a skewed perspective a la Alex Chilton (with whom some of the dB's had previously played) and a contemporary feel energized by the post-punk era. The two albums recorded by the band's original lineup (before co-singer/songwriter/guitarist Chris Stamey departed) are among the most brilliant power-pop gems of the era, and are conveniently combined here on one disc. Stamey and partner Peter Holsapple play off each other perfectly; with Stamey's songs and singing alternately dreamy and insouciant, and Holsapple's consistently warm and resonant. With chiming guitar hooks, Everly Brothers-go-New Wave harmonies, and the truly effervescent rhythm section of bassist Gene Holder and drummer Will Rigby, the dB's were the band to beat in the world of smart, snappy pop-rock, even if their sales never matched their soaring talent.
