Relient K
By All Music Guide
Canton, OHs Relient K formed in 1998 and joined the parade of Christian punk-pop artists (MxPx, Ghoti Hook, Slick Shoes, etc.) with their self-titled 2000 debut, mixing catchy melodies and snotty attitude with spiritual concerns. The record was produced by dc Talk guitarist Mark Townsend, and the band comprised vocalist/guitarist/pianist Matt Thiessen, guitarist Matthew Hoopes, bassist Brian Pittman, and drummer Stephen Cushman. David Douglas joined up in place of Cushman by the years end, and Relient K followed up in August 2001 with The Anatomy of the Tongue in Cheek. The album sold 300,000 copies and Relient Ks momentum continued to build as they played nearly 200 shows in North America before the year closed out. A third full-length, Two Lefts Dont Make a Right... But Three Do, debuted at number 38 on Billboards Top 200 album chart upon its release in spring 2003. The band didnt waste any time recording a fourth album; MMHMM, which was produced by lead singer Thiessen and dc Talks Townsend and mixed by Tom Lord-Alge, was released in November 2004 by Gotee/Capitol. MMHMM scanned over 51,000 copies sold during its first week, hitting number 15 on the Top 200 and number one for Christian Albums. It eventually went gold, Relient Ks third consecutive album to do so, and the bands mainstream crossover was in full swing with singles Be My Escape and Who I Am Hates Who Ive Been doing very well on modern rock radio and MTV. Pittman left the group after the albums release (later going on to play with Inhale/Exhale), and John Warne (ex-Ace Troubleshooter) filled in on bass for touring purposes, becoming a permanent member in 2005. Relient K further added Jonathan Schneck as a third guitarist (who also played banjo and bells) that year, bumping them up to quintet status. Touring constantly in support of MMHMM, the Apathetic EP followed in November 2005 as another treat to hold over fans as the guys readied their next album. Five Score & Seven Years Ago (as in their fifth album in seven years) was largely produced by Howard Benson (My Chemical Romance, Less Than Jake) and released in early March 2007. True to form, Relient K set out on a full round of nationwide dates, including spring shows with Mae and Sherwood.
