Band:
Mike and Matt first met while attending U-Mass Lowell in the Fall of 2000. Their main bond was a love of underground music, from soft indie-rock to hardcore. Both had been in bands in high school and had similar ideas of what they wanted to do with music. Before relocating the band to Boston, the lineup was solidified with the additions of Rob on drums, Jon on guitar, and Jim on keyboards.
Three weeks after Jim joined the band, Harris embarked on a three-and-a-half week tour out to California and back armed with a trailer full of equipment, and CD cases filled with albums by the Weakerthans, the Dismemberment Plan, Chisel, At the Drive In, Trans-Am, Drive Like Jehu, Beck, and Refused. Matt ended up with stitches in his head, Jon had all of his valuables stolen, and Mike had killed a buzzard with the windshield of the mini-van. What tour is complete without human and animal sacrifice?
When all was said and done Harris had performed in 23 new cities. Before leaving for another extensive tour, the quintet decided to write sharper, more ambitious material. For a year they tested their new songs in Boston, Providence, New York, and Philadelphia rock clubs, basements, and VFW halls. They soon decided it was time to start tracking for their first full-length release.

Album:
"The Light Is Seeping Through The Cracks", the debut full-length album by Boston's Harris, has been in the works since July of 2004. Jon took on the role of engineer and lugged his recording equipment to any dingy basement, country townhouse, or garage that the band could secure long enough to lay wires, set up gear, and play. The end result is the most accurate depiction of the band to date- an entire album of challenging, catchy, and honest songs.

Tour:
With one national tour under their belts, Harris has also toured the entire East Coast twice, played a number of shows in Montreal and New Brunswick Canada, made countless trips to Philadelphia, New Jersey, and New York, and have toured New England relentlessly. They have shared the stage with Rainer Maria, Elliott, Pilot to Gunner, the Sheila Divine, the Dresden Dolls, Apollo Sunshine, Jim Carroll, Mae, the Format, Starflyer59, the Pale Pacific, Jupiter Sunrise, Engine Down, the Rocket Summer, Bella Lea and many others.
