The Baptist Generals are an American indie band from the music town of Denton, Texas.
The Baptist Generals was formed in 1998 by songwriter/guitarist Chris Flemmons and drummer Steve Hill. Originally the two played together as a street act, but over the years the band has grown to include a rotating cast of Denton and former Denton musicians with Flemmons and Hill figuring central to every new arrangement.
In 2007 the band refined their live shows to entirely acoustic sets performed on the band's traveling rug.
The band has a short list of releases that include a 9-song EP, Dog released in 1998 on now-defunct Quality Park Records, as well as the LP No Silver/No Gold released in 2003 on Subpop Records.
