Formed in Minneapolis, MN in 1997, Self-Evident have since developed and applied a unique, intricate, and smart formula to standard rock songwriting, conjuring music that is very resistant to categorization.
.
Variously described as punk, indie, jazz, post, math, noise, and art-rock, Self-Evident are perhaps more aptly dubbed “transcendental”, encompassing all of these styles and more-often in a single three minute song with a strong melodic sense. The instrumentation is simple: bass/vocals, guitar/vocals, and drums.

Self-evident have played over 600 shows in 23 states with countless bands such as Don Caballero, Oxes, Juno, Chokebore, Local H, Bad Wizard, The Vida Blue (Ten Grand), Life And Times, Houston, Traindodge, Dropsonic, Riddle of Steel, and House Of Large Sizes to name a few.

Multiple full length albums and EPs have been released since their conception in 1997 including the following:

“The Arrogance Of The Common Professional (EP)” - 1999
“What We Sound Like” - 2000
“Direct (EP)” - 2001
“Angular” - 2003
“Epistemology” - 2005
“Self-Evident” - 2007
“Billions (EP)” - 2008
“Endings” - 2009

Self-Evident has also been involved with multiple compilation CDs, split CDs, and promotional releases.

The summer of 2006 brought the departure of Brian Heitzman, original drummer of 9+ years. Long time pal and superstar Ben Johnston of Clair de Lune immediately came to the rescue and has since brought a new life and approach to the band.
