“We named this band after a fictitious character that overcame unmeasurable odds, rose to the face of adversity and pushed beyond all barriers of his world. To say that we did those same things would be the very truth of what we accomplished in the three years since Jon and I said we wanted to be in a band that sounded like Neil Perry. In the time we did this we found our medication for whatever troubles the adolescent young adult mind can come up with, break ups, broken hearts, mind games,self doubt, looking to the future and being uncertain where you’ll be. These things pushed us to find a way to cope with our lives in a hard time. We found solace in our friendships. To think of everything we’ve been through and how honest we were lyrically and musically with this band can only be found by the people who chose to look there for it. We did this for everyone who ever cared about us, but couldn’t do it without each other. To be over and done with now makes me feel good, I know I’ll always have this time to look back on. This band was all of us growing up,nervous and awkward as life can be. If you’re reading this right now, you know you were a part of it. Thank you. Fuck the Flagship Niagara, this band is, was, and always will be Harrison Bergeron.”
