Harvey Danger


One of my favorite bands from the late 90's and early 2000's. This Seattle indie rock back is one of  the few bands that can have a great almost Ramones’s pace song, calm it down for a few seconds, drop a hilarious reference in the middle of the song, and still sound perfect. Harvey Danger combines great classic rock style guitars, drums, and the great singing ability of Sean Nelson. Many American Pie fans will probably remember their hit song " Flagpole Sitta" from the first installment of the series and maybe like me watched the credits just to find this amazing band.

I give Harvey Danger 4 out of 5 stars. This rate is because some of their songs sound too similar but if you’re like me you fall in love with everyone like the one before it. Another reason for the lower than perfect rate is because this band only put out three studio albums and their last album lacked their iconic sound.  I suggest you all take a look at their albums Where Have all the Merrymakers Gone? and King James Version which contain some of my all-time favorite songs. Also if you’re in the market for some hilarious music videos I suggest you watch Save it for Later and Sad Sweetheart of the Rodeo.
