Propeller Sound Recordings presents The dB's: "Cycles Per Second: US Tour 2024" as a Record Store Day 2026 exclusive First. From the sold-out 2024 U.S. reunion tour - 13 songs, 4 original members, one unforgettable return. Long hailed as pioneers of American power pop and the early indie era, The dB's reunited to celebrate the 2024 Propeller Sound Recordings reissues of their seminal albums Stands for deciBels (1981) and Repercussion (1982). The dozen U.S. shows that followed were triumphant sell-outs, with fans and critics alike celebrating a once-in-a-generation reunion that captured both nostalgia and newfound vitality. New indie-pop artists like the Lemon Twigs, Real Estate and The Beths owe a lot to the dB's jangle-pop style. Cycles Per Second documents that moment. Mixed and compiled by the band's own Chris Stamey, the 13-track set brings together performances from across the tour, featuring all four original members - Peter Holsapple, Chris Stamey, Will Rigby, and Gene Holder - joined by keyboardist Wes Lachot. The release marks the first live album ever by The dB's, making it an essential artifact for collectors, fans, and students of alternative rock history. The LP will be pressed on RSD- exclusive colored vinyl, limited to 1,500 copies, and feature a full-color insert of tour photos.
