Repercussion by The Db's

Repercussion was the dB's second album, the power pop band's follow-up to Stands for Decibels, and Scott Litt produced it. The four Winston-Salem boys who had set up shop in New York, Peter Holsapple, Chris Stamey, Will Rigby and Gene Holder, pack it with chiming guitars, sharp hooks and a nervy, clever edge.

Like the debut, it won over the critics and missed with the public. "Amplifier" is the song that stuck around long enough to reach the countdowns. It was also the end of an era: Stamey quit in early April 1982 to go solo, and the original lineup didn't make another album together until Falling Off the Sky, three decades later.
