What has been said:
"Repo ... an intoxicating follow-up that should have throngs of screaming rock fans at their door ... genuine acts of musicianship that shock the aural senses into submission." - Jason Gladu, POPJOURNALISM
"REPO REPO REPO is fucking wicked. Rob Higgins has really stepped up his songwriting skills and the results can be heard, track 1 to 10." - Joe Zabukovec, THE NEWSPAPER, U of T
"One minute they might be a snarling, drunken rock machine, the next a dreamy, quirky alt unit. Either way, the music stays fresh, which is why Toronto’s Dearly Beloved is onto something."- Evan Davies, NOW Magazine
“The grit of old school punk, the guitars of the new rock revival and a touch of the Velvet Underground. A worthy addition to the indie scenester’s collection.”- Paul Budel, CHART
