Barb Higgins was an emo hardcore band from Calgary, Alberta. They shared a guitarist with The Alex P. Keatons. The only proof the band ever existed is this one incredible live video on the 90s All Ages Calgary Punk and Hardcore youtube channel. Apparently they never got around to recording anything, so I took the liberty to rip the audio and clean it up a little. The audio is... passable; you can kind of hear what is going on and they sounded really good. There was a lack of women in the scene at the time; which is spoken on in the video, it's refreshing to see a band with a femme singer kicking around back then. Barb Higgins has a intriguing, dark and languished sound that you could compare to contemporaries like Joule and Jon American Car. I'd recommend giving this live set a quick peek if you are a fan of those bands.
