Despite their uncanny ability to write catchy songs and thought-provoking lyrics, Harvey Danger take nothing for granted. This is the result of having to wait 2 1/2 years to release the follow-up to their gold-selling debut album Where Have All The Merrymakers Gone? With label politics and shuffling now behind them, Harvey Danger can now get back to the business of being in a successful rock band. Theirs is a success story that includes a #1 modern rock single in "Flagpole Sitta," an appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman, an MTV Buzz Clip, and feature articles in Spin and Rolling Stone.
Why this name?
Um, there's nobody in the band named Harvey Danger. It is a band, not a person, though we have been told that there are several people who have that name. None of those people, however, are in this band. Our names are Aaron Huffman (bass), Jeff J. Lin (guitar), Sean Nelson (vocals), and Evan Sult (drums).

How did you come up with the name Harvey Danger?
There have been many answers to this question. But the official answer is that it was taken from graffiti on the newsroom wall of the University of Washington Daily, the student newspaper where Jeff and Aaron met (and later formed the band).
After many fruitless efforts to come up with a name, Aaron was drifting asleep during a staff meeting one afternoon and happened to see the writing on the wall, so to speak.
Your influences?
Many too numerous to mention and we're constantly adding to this list as time goes on, but here's a sampling (some groups more for certain band members than others, natch):
The Beatles, The Kinks, Pavement, REM, The Smiths, The Cure, Sebadoh, The Pixies, My Bloody Valentine, Nirvana, Leonard Cohen, Radiohead, etc.
