Old pals who mine the fertile wells of the classic rock. The grooves are slow-burning and good-feeling. The playing is expert and soulful. There are layers of delicious melody tucked in every crevasse.

They've been around since '99 or '00 in some form or another, trolling Jersey, Long Island, or the 5 boroughs. They made their first album on their own though no one really heard it except their friends. They made their proper debut with their second album. recorded in their Jersey kitchen, and it came out in '06 on Maggadee. They've performed as a quartet, a duo and now most recently a mighty sextet.

They've been perfecting their next full length platter at Serious Business, and we plan to offer it to you when its done. In the meantime, enjoy this: DOWNLOAD: "Yes I Know" [MP3] from 'Yes I Know' / 'Slap Or Pinch' digital single. (SBR21).

Lineup:
Kevin Fish, Brian Kantor, Josh Kaufman,

"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...use the influence of their “classic rock Dads” to wail on your ass up and down..." 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 band offers a rather sofisticated beat and psych influenced indie pop that often reminds us of Lennon's most melodic moments with the Beatles."
The Deli blog

"...full of multilayered melodies & harmonies with a laid-back, psychedelic, sunny vibe that recalls late Beatles and Beach Boys tunes." Staticmultimedia.com
