Interview: Will Rigby of the dB's
On this episode, Will chats with Will Rigby, drummer and founding member of The dB's. While The dB's are credited with influencing the sound of others that came later in the decade, the band did not have the commercial success it deserved. Their path to greater exposure was likely hampered by the limited releases of their first two albums. In the 1980s, "Stands for Decibels" and "Repercussion" were only released on vinyl by the UK label Albion. Music lovers would have to find their record in a store that imported EPs or be among the few fortunate enough to hear them on an independent radio station. Fortunately, both of those albums have now been on vinyl for the first time US. Thanks to Propeller Sound Recordings, both remastered discs are available now.
