Artist History Being a Short Diversion of the Dubious Origins of The Evidents… In the beginning was Mick Crowley, guitarist, songwriter, and self-professed wit, who early on destroyed any chance at a productive life by deciding he wanted to have a Rock & Roll band. After a few attempts at bands of varying degrees of lousiness with varying personnel, he found success in meeting the men who, with Mick, would all too soon form The Hate Bombs. After five years, two albums, and tours across the country, Mick decided he had enough experience to start his own band, called The Evidents for no good reason. After a long incubation period with members dropping in, dropping out, and sending death threats, the lineup of The Evidents now includes (besides Mick) Jeff Nowlin on bass, vocals and increasing responsibility; and Jeff Morin on drums. Their first eponymously titled album was self-produced and was released, as it were, in November 2001. Now it's Summer 2003 and they're back in the studio, be on the lookout for their 2nd release!

Press Reviews " If you're the kind of person who heard the ragged vitality of the song "BBC" in the first Austin Powers movie, waxed nostalgic for the 1960's you never even knew and thought, "They don't write them like that anymore;" well, they do. The Evidents' self-titled CD evokes the shimmy-shaking of the Yardbirds and the raw heat (and sometimes the drum rolls) of the surf rockin' Ventures. Even the spirit of the Monkees was definitely hanging around while the band was honing its sharp post-punk style (and hone they have, as their live shows get ever better). This isn't to cast The Evidents as imitators or bubble-gum artists. If this is bubble gum, the sugar has definitely been sucked out. While their sound is of that era, their gritty texture and energy are right here, right now. So, you want a new spin on a golden era? Spin this. And just try to keep yourself from dancing." --By Liz Langley. Published in the Orlando Weekly.
