Ep. 75: The dB's (Peter Holsapple & Will Rigby)

The dB's may not be a household name in the mainstream of Rock, but for those that enjoy the alleyways and cul-de-sacs of popular music, The dB's stand with a handful of other bands that unintentionally helped start a new genre of music. 

In this conversation, I speak with Peter Holsapple and Will Rigby about their music journey, the re-release of their album 'Repercussion', and their experiences in the music industry over the decades. We discuss their unique sound, influences, connections with other bands like R.E.M., and the nostalgia of revisiting their earlier works. 

"Repercussion" is seen by many as the crown jewel of the band's catalogue and it has been remastered for re-release on October 18, 2024, available on vinyl for the first time in the US.

I want to thank Chris Taylor for letting me use Arise and Shine free of charge for the first 3 seasons. I will be using a new, shorter intro going forward (gotta keep it fresh). The montage intro includes the voices of two friends; Emma says "Bryan," and Sean says "Frazier." And my wonderful sons, Luke and Jacob say "and our dad." It was a very personal intro for me.
