Dear Ephesus was a band from Orlando, Florida in the late Nineties. They came out of the Sunny Day Real Estate/Mineral scene and like both of those bands had strong Christian overtones in their lyrics. If you can get past that you will be treated to some really great "post rock", "emo", or whatever phrase you want to attach to it. I got to see them play live when I was in high school and was blown away at the intensity of their live performance. The records do a good job at capturing the energy of the band. Both albums are out of print and hard to find but pick a copy up if you can find one!
