Episode 1410: The dB’s

Hello friends! Peter Holsapple from legendary, and influential power-pop band, The dB's is my guest for episode 1410! Their 1981 album, Stands For Decibels, originally released on the UK-based Albion label, was known as one of the great "lost" power-pop albums of the 80's until now. Stands For Decibels is available now wherever you stream your music or on CD and vinyl on Propeller Sound Recordings. The dB's will also be hitting the road this fall playing shows on the east coast and midwest. Go to thedbs.com for tour dates, music and more. Peter and I have a great conversation about the story of The dB's, their journey as a band, the influence of The dB's on R.E.M., Let's Active and more, Peter's career after the band spending 4 years as R.E.M.'s touring keyboard/guitar player, 26 years touring with Hootie And The Blowfish, and his band, The Continental Drifters with Vicki Peterson (The Bangles)  and Susan Cowsill (The Cowsills), and much more. It was such an honor to sit down with Peter and get his story. I hope you enjoy it. I did. Let's get down!
