DEARLY BELOVED RETURN WITH RepoRepoRepo

Dearly Beloved is returning to the indie rock scene with their sophomore album RepoRepoRepo which they decided to make available digitally last week on itunes, puretracks, maple music and others while a retail CD release is being planned for March 2008. Since their debut You Are The Jaguar in 2006 the band has toured with their explosive live shows while receiving critical praise from coast to coast.

Singer / bassist Rob Higgins and crew serve up another fresh joint of their eclectic, punk-inspired rock. Niva Chow (singer / rock tigress) of Sticky Rice; guitarist Damon Richardson, formerly of Danko Jones and Change of Heart and drummer Hayden Menzies comprise this slightly leaner version of the badass Canadian band that in 2006 would play 40 shows in 60 days, each like it could be their last, and still return home hungry for more.

Higgins, who is known for his work with the bands Change of Heart, By Divine Right, Tristan Psionic, Rocket Science, Doctor and for touring with Our Lady Peace as their bass player from time to time, is celebrating his first sophomore album. “I've been fortunate enough to have 6 records released in the 11 years I’ve been writing,” says Higgins, “but I was never lucky enough to get the chance to create a follow-up.”

An insomniac, workaholic and avid fan of ice hockey, Higgins has recently decided to forego sleeping entirely and pull double-duty as an on-air personality and Fantasy Hockey Expert for XM Radio and gretzky.com, With XM's membership approaching half a million and Rob's weekly appearances on the nationally broadcasted Live From Gretzky's radio show Higgins has been rubbing his shoulders with hockey legends and personalities – and leaving a mark of his own!

For now Dearly Beloved will continue to tour taking them wherever the road may lead. Audiences everywhere can expect more rock, more great songs and a better Dearly Beloved that will still make you wanna shake yer ass, only now a little bit harder.
