Slowly Making Slow Music Since 2002

About Me

We're currently in the studio working on the follow-up to Dear Higgins.
You can buy Dear Higgins here For $10.99.
It's also available for digital download at emusic.com and at the itunes music store.
Nice words:
"We can't figure out why Higgins hasn't caught on yet. The band's debut, Dear Higgins, is full of the kind of lush, Beatlesesque, pop that almost everyone likes." Time Out New York
"Higgins is Brian and Kevin, two boys who use the influence of their “classic rock Dads” to wail on your ass up and down their new CD, Dear Higgins." The Deli
"60s pop played to absolute perfection. Everything that made that music so universally appealing in the first place." Punknews.org
" Like Ringo Starr, Brian Kantor's solid, and charismatic, drumming provides the perfect accompaniment for Kevin Fish's ringing circular guitar patterns to wrap around" Big Takeover
"What is obvious is how they have an ear for a hook judging by the gloriously ballsy, Come." Popmatters.com
"The album is full of multilayered melodies & harmonies with a laid-back, psychedelic, sunny vibe that recalls late Beatles and Beach Boys tunes." Staticmultimedia.com
