Stamey played bass with Alex Chilton in New York during 1977, and with Television guitarist Richard Lloyd recorded «(I Thought) You Wanted to Know» that year. A single of this song, backed with «If and When» (on which Rigby and Holder played), appeared in 1978, credited to Chris Stamey and the dB’s. Holsapple joined the group in October 1978.
They released their first album, Stands for Decibels, in 1981, to critical acclaim but negligible sales. Their sound was a modernized version of earlier power pop, with precise arrangements and highly accomplished instrumental work. Stamey and Holsapple were the band’s songwriters, and while Holsapple was skilled in the composing of fairly straightforward tunes such as «Big Brown Eyes» and «Bad Reputation,» Stamey’s songs, which include «Espionage» and «Tearjerkin’,» tended to be somewhat more experimental. They released a second album in 1982, Repercussion, which built upon the strengths of the first album, and also released singles such as «Judy.» These two albums, recorded on the British label Albion, have since been reissued on one compact disc.
Stamey left the group after the second album, and pursued a career as a solo artist and producer. The group then recorded a third album, Like This, released in 1984. The band had finally landed an American record deal, Bearsville Records, but distribution woes caused the album to be greatly delayed. Rick Wagner joined the band on bass, and Holder moved to lead guitar.

So damn good. Black and White, Neverland, and Bad Reputation are three perfect songs. Each respective jam should have been a number one hit. I'm sorry, but the first jangly hit of "Black and White" is just jaw-droppingly sick... and that riff is too good for it's own good. also, let me just say: i think "Like This" is underrated. Sure the lyrics may be a tad corny... but come on: melodies are there, super poppy sound, even some harsh feedback and killer guitar lines if you listen closely. maybe it's just me but i always wish the guitars on the album were up a bit in the mix. a part of me wishes dB's stuff was produced/engineered/mixed by some fantasy-land dream team of j mascais and Jim Dickinson (the guy who produced big star's Third and the 'mats song "Alex Chilton"). but maybe that's just me. ////////wow. talk about rambling... sorry folks!
