Harvey Danger was originally founded as an informal combo by Jeff Lin and Aaron Huffman-whose unconventional melodic and rhythmic interplay remains the core of the band's sound-in the Spring of 1992, while the two were attending the University of Washington.
It was formed in 1992 in Seattle, Washington, by Aaron Huffman and Jeff J. Lin, who were both journalism students at the University of Washington. Drummer Evan Sult and singer Sean Nelson were brought into the band in 1993, solidifying the band's lineup for the remainder of their initial existence.
