I’m not really sure that we should listen to Harvey Danger’s Sean Nelson tell us which rock bands he wants to break up, but it does amuse me that he’s chosen to exit the music business (Harvey Danger announced their break up this spring) in a blaze...

You may have already heard that long-running indie-pop band Harvey Danger decided to call it a day last month. The boys promised a farewell tour before they closed the door and a farewell tour they have booked.
