4 Discography
4.This lineup remained static from the release of The Creepy EP and The Anatomy of the Tongue in Cheek in 2001, through the release of Mmhmm.Pittman now plays bass for the Christian metal band Inhale Exhale.John Warne, lead singer and guitarist of Ace Troubleshooter, filled in as bassist for the remainder of 2004.Also in 2005, Jon Schneck joined as a third guitarist, as well as a banjo and bell player, to create a fuller, more distinctive sound.This was also because the band planned to add more piano, and having another guitarist gave Matt Thiessen the freedom to do that.Relient K first formed between the band's junior year in high school and their time at Malone College in Canton, Ohio.The band's demo, All Work and No Play, caught the attention of dc Talk's Toby McKeehan (tobyMac).Townsend knew the band members because his daughter was friends with the band (she later married guitarist Matt Hoopes).After Toby signed the band to his label, Gotee Records, Relient K released their debut EP entitled 2000 A.This album launched both Relient K and their sound to a whole new level.Gotee, their label, accepted the offer on Relient K's behalf; Pittman recalls, "The choice was never really given to us.After significant pressure from conservative Christian organizations such as Focus on the Family, Gotee backed out of the contract.The song was released on three different albums, two in single form.The first version also included their song "Breakdown" being sung by Larry the Cucumber.There was also a promotional version which included the original version of "Breakdown".Christian rock compilation Veggie Rocks!.In 2003, Relient K released Two Lefts Don't Make a Right...During this time, Relient K also released a limited edition red vinyl EP entitled The Vinyl Countdown, only released in one printing.Three Do was released in March of 2003, Relient K released a bonus disc for Christmas, entitled Deck the Halls, Bruise Your Hand.In Norway Relient K was one of the 2004's best new bands along with Bloc Party, Hawthorne Heights, and Motion City Soundtrack.He also joined Christian metal band Inhale Exhale shortly afterward.There were various reasons.Pittman reunited with the band for one final show, which was the release party for "Mmhmm" at the Newport Music Hall in Columbus, Ohio on November 1, 2004.Between September and November 2006, Relient K played on the Nintendo Fusion Tour with Hawthorne Heights, Emery, Plain White T's, and The Sleeping.On March 2, 2007 the entire album (except the last track, "Deathbed") was made available for streaming on the band's MySpace.The band's first single from the album, "Must Have Done Something Right," was released on the iTunes Store on November 28, 2006 and to radio on January 9, 2007."Forgiven" was the most added song on Christian radio and entered Billboard's Hot Christian Songs chart on January 11, 2007."Must Have Done Something Right" and "The Best Thing" were performed on Late Night with Conan O'Brien and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno respectively.Daniel Powter 'Bad Day' song.The second single released on Christian CHR radio stations was "Give Until There's Nothing Left", which was the 20th most played song on CHR radio stations in 2007.Members of both Switchfoot and Relient K have been talking about touring together, and Switchfoot confirmed the rumors this fall during the Alive Festival.Switchfoot and Relient K announced there will be a tour in the fall of 2007 with more details to come.Relient K and Switchfoot both played at the Los Angeles premier of the movie Evan Almighty on June 22, 2007.In the early morning of June 28, 2007, Relient K's bus caught fire.Matt Thiessen said he lost a laptop that had roughly 100 unfinished songs on it, and Dave Douglas lost his Battlefield drum set.In the midst of it, the band still laughed at the situation, calling it "cinematic".Douglas's drum kit set was not salvageable.The band had just played Creation Northeast, and had to cancel their appearance at Cornerstone Festival in Illinois, which the band has named as one of their favorite shows to do.In the months following, the band played many more Christian rock festivals as usual, with Matt Thiessen telling the story each time.The CD is titled Let it Snow, Baby...The band also took part in McDonald's Summer 2007 music tour.Votes by viewers will be counted to decide who will win.Relient K, Switchfoot and Ruth recently recorded a song together titled Rebuild.On October 18, 2007 drummer Dave Douglas announced his leave on the band's website.His final show will be December 29, 2007.The band had recorded the theme song in 2002 and is being used for the Veggietales theatre film The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything and is frequently played in trailers.Relient K as a Christian band
It has been debated among some fans and critics whether or not Relient K is a Christian band.Like you can call us Christian band, you can call us a rock and roll band, we can go on tour with this band, we can go on tour with that band.In the February 2007 edition of CCM Magazine, there is an article discussing Christian artists in the mainstream industry."It's time for Christian music to bleed into everything."Relient K's Thiessen sees it as a very good sign."That's what Christianity is all about," Thiessen adds.Lewis wasn't about just writing to Christians to make them better.That's what music is all about, too.Ozzfest or that Sixpence None the Richer was all over the radio.At the same time, many songs do state God's name directly, some of the songs being worship songs.One response that Matt Thiessen had on their website was that it is hard to mention Jesus in a song without it sounding "corny."However, this quote from Thiessen has been taken out of context, as Thiessen was saying they didn't use the lyrics well.Let it not be said after this that Relient K is sugar coating their message.They never have, and never did deserve the heat they took for that.The Complex Infrastructure Known as the Female Mind
In 2004, Relient K released a book entitled The Complex Infrastructure Known as the Female Mind.The book clues in the confused male Relient K fans on some of the inner workings of the female species.Podcasts
Relient K has made a total of nine audio podcasts and five video podcasts.The nine audio podcasts were made during the band's time on the Matt Hoopes Birthday Tour.He started it in 1998, around the time Relient K was started.Dave Douglas has Agnes, a solo rock project that somewhat features the sound of Relient K's earlier music and a sort of sound of his own, for which he has released three songs.Douglas also has started a project called Gypsy Parade, a softer project that he started with his wife.They have released two demo songs on their MySpace with more on the way.Mono vs Stereo records in 2006, from both Matt Thiessen's side project Matthew Thiessen and the Earthquakes, and Dave Douglas' side project Agnes.Powell, Mark Allan (2002).Relient K draws fans in Christian, mainstream markets."Relient K Pump Serious Rock, Sugary Pop In The Tank For Upcoming LP".Two Lefts Don't Make a Right...Open Mic Karaoke: Relient K, Vol.All text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License.Christian rock band Relient K.Typical of Relient K albums, the lyrics use pop culture references for teaching and to illustrate Biblical principles.McKeehan is the president of Gotee Records, and the one who signed Relient K to a record deal after hearing their demo.Relient K's "Call Us Rock Stars" with various quotes dubbed over and then music from a polka concert at the end.The song "anchorage" is the only Relient K song to begin with a lowercase letter, and is the only Relient K song that has absolutely no vocals."Ed Sullivan" which was excluded from the release version."Nancy Drew" refers to the series of children's mysteries with the main character of the same name.This song also mentions The Hardy Boys, the brother series to Nancy Drew.Car" refers to the Plymouth Reliant K, based on the K Car platform, for which the band is named."My Girlfriend" draws parallels to 1 Peter 5:8, where the Devil is portrayed as a Lion waiting to devour lives.Powell, Mark Allan (2002).Open Mic Karaoke: Relient K, Vol.This page was last modified 17:05, 29 December 2007.All text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License.See Copyrights for details.Relient K hasn't posted a blog yet.Relient K hasn't posted any shows yet.Yes, it's close to enough to the band in artistry.CTI Celebrates 50 Years!"Deathbed," rest assured, Relient K has not lost its quirky sense of humor."Crayons Can Melt On Us For All I Care," which takes longer to say than to play, is a classic Relient K goofball aside."It's the same flavor but we try to stretch it a little bit.Indeed, the album is a departure for Relient K.I'm going through and I can't avoid the fact that I'm just really happy and there are some good things going on," says Thiessen.And the happy state of mind lights up the exuberant first single "Must Have Done Something Right" as well.Tracks like "Devastation And Reform," "Bite My Tongue" and "Up And Up" pick up where mmhmm's "Who I Am Hates Who I've Been" left off.Relient K has always been more interested in the everyman who messes up in myriad smaller ways.Apathetic EP, released in late 2005.With original guitarist Matt Hoopes and drummer Dave Douglas completing the lineup, Relient K is now a quintet with each of the members contributing vocals.But it was a good experience working with Howard."Benson quickly assuaged Hoopes' jitters, creating a supportive environment and bringing a fresh perspective to the band's music.Originally based in Canton, Ohio, the band now lives "all over the place," as Hoopes describes.Hoopes put Thiessen up at his place and the two worked in a Nashville studio with producer Townsend, where they recorded most of "Plead the Fifth," "Deathbed" and "Crayons Can Melt On Us For All I Care."Propelled by the success of mmhmm and its two Top 20 singles ("Be My Escape" and "Who I Am Hates Who I've Been"), the band has toured incessantly, hitting the road with bands like Good Charlotte, Simple Plan and MXPX and landing a main stage slot on the 2005 Vans Warped Tour, and logging a slew of television appearances, including "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" and "Jimmy Kimmel Live" as well as MTV's "TRL," "Hard Rock Live" and "Summer on the Strip from Las Vegas."Yet Relient K (yes, named for the Reliant K automobile, which Plymouth manufactured in the 1980's) relishes its relative anonymity.No credit card required. |
