In dubio pro decibel, something like when in doubt, turn up the volume. The expression in dubio pro reo (Latin for “when in doubt, for the accused”) was manipulated just a little for a song title. Munich’s Express Brass Band played on Sunday morning in the Frauenhofer, a Munich pub that has a music and cabaret program, and one of their songs was called In Dubio Pro Decibel. I liked the music and the title. I also like the band, and yes, they’re pretty loud. With influences from jazz, soul and afro beat, they have created a great foot-tapping sound. They’re good. Furthermore, two of my sons play in the band. I’ve heard them often over the years – and they keep getting better.
