Harrison was born out of the small but challenging rock scene in Hawaii back in 2003. The band came about through the unlikely pairing of guitarist, Miles, who had an indie rock band, and Martin who was playing guitar and singing with his own pop/punk rock band. The two had little in common apart from a mutual respect for the other’s unique musical talents but that was enough for them to start up a side project. They brought in the drummer and bassist, Randall, into the group, who turned out to be the perfect bridge between Martin’s heavy guitar riffs and Miles’ crisp indie sounds. This improbable
trio created an eclectic yet accessible sound that propelled them up the local rock hierarchy.
