The dB's are an influential American power pop and jangle pop band, first active from 1978 to 1988. Notably, the band was formed by Peter Holsapple and Chris Stamey, two musicians known for their songwriting prowess. Their musical style is characterized by catchy, guitar-driven melodies and intricate harmonies, epitomized in albums like "Stands for Decibels" and "Repercussion". The dB's have significantly contributed to the alternative rock scene, particularly in the American South, and their work has helped to bridge the gap between 1960s pop and 1980s indie rock.
