Relient K is a Christian rock band formed in 1998 in Canton, Ohio named after guitarist Matt Hoopes' Plymouth Reliant K car. The band has received numerous awards including a Grammy nomination in 2003 for Best Gospel Modern Rock Album. All the members are Christians, although some fans have questioned the band being in the Christian rock genre. On the subject of this, lead singer Matt Thiessen stated in a interview that they do not care if they are called a Christian band, a rock and roll band, or whatever else. He added, "We just sing about what we want to sing about, which most of the time, is our faith".[citation needed]
The band broke into the mainstream in 2004 after Capitol signed them and they released their fourth record, Mmhmm, which produced three top five hits on Christian radio and two top 20 hits on mainstream radio. They are now ready to release their fifth full length record, Five Score and Seven Years Ago, which is scheduled to be released on March 6, 2007.

Relient K was founded in 1998 by Matt Thiessen and Matt Hoopes on guitar, and Brian Pittman on bass. Todd Frescone joined for a short time on the drums in 1998. After All Work and No Play, Todd Frescone was replaced by Stephen Cushman. Cushman played drums on the 2000 A.D.D., and on the self-titled album in 2000, but left later that year to join metal band Narcissus. Jared Byers, drummer of Bleach, filled in as the temporary drummer, until Dave Douglas joined in December of 2000. 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 in 2004, after which Brian Pittman left to start a landscaping company. 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. He became full-time bassist in 2005. 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.
