Evangelicals

**Evangelicals** was an indie rock band hailing from Norman, Oklahoma, known for their lush, psychedelic soundscapes and theatrical flair. Formed in the mid-2000s, the group—fronted by Josh Jones alongside Austin Stevens and Kyle Davis—crafted music that blended eerie, cinematic vibes with dreamy, reverb-drenched hooks. Their debut album, *So Gone* (2006), and follow-up *The Evening Descends* (2008) showcased their knack for dramatic, genre-bending tracks like the spooky standout "The Halloween Song." Evangelicals toured with acts like The Flaming Lips and built a cult following for their unpredictable live energy and moody, imaginative sound before dissolving in the early 2010s. Their music remains a time capsule of eccentric, Oklahoma-bred indie rock.
