Background / Composition: Halifax songstress Rebekah Higgs is known for her brand of electronic indie pop, but she's recently been concentrating on fronting dirty-electro quartet Ruby Jean & The Thoughtful Bees. Grade: 69 Comment: Higgs didn't seem at the top of her game. She performed only with a drummer backing her, when she really needed...

Background/Composition: It's not often that pretty, electric guitar-playing girls take to the stage at grimy Sneaky Dee's, making Higgs a sight for sore eyes. Taking a break from her role in trip-hop project Ruby Jean And The Thoughtful, the 25-year-old chanteuse, avec backing band, was in town to present work from her solo disc. Grade...

The Drums are back with a sophomore album called Portamento on Sept. 13. Regardless of what it'll sound like, Manic Street Preachers bassist Nicky Wire will probably still say there's "no soul in that band." The third in Radiohead's series of 12-inch vinyl remixes of tunes from this year's The King Of Limbs is out "in two weeks." Yeah, there's no...

Song Of The Day: Rebekah Higgs' "Asleep All Winter"

in
By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) January 10, 2011 4:48 pm
Here's yet another great tune from Rebekah Higgs' recently released Little Voice EP. Unlike the mini-album's title track and most of the disc itself, "Asleep All Winter" is electronic-based and has a bit more in common with Higgs' work with Ruby Jean And The Thoughtful Bees. This tune's a quick one, but it's a goodie, so it should be able to get...

Song Of The Day: Rebekah Higgs' "Little Voice"

in
By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) November 30, 2010 12:12 pm
"Little Voice" and its accompanying EP of the same name find Halifax-based Rebekah Higgs easing into a sound that's more indie pop than it is electronic. It's a turn away from her previous work and her material with Ruby Jean And The Thoughtful Bees. This tune in particular is still full of ethereal vocals and keyboards, but this time Higgs has...

The Canadian Broadcast Standards Council said Wednesday that comments Blundell made suggesting Justin Bieber was "gay" and that his fans were "likely 12 years old" violated part of the council's "equitable portrayal code" because they had "inappropriately sexualized children."...
