relient k by the way is an American alternative rock Christian rock and pop punk band from Canton, Ohio that formed in 1998. The band is named after guitarist Matt Hoopes' Plymouth Reliant K car, with the spelling intentionally altered to avoid trademark infringement over the Reliant name. The band has received numerous awards including a Grammy Award nomination in 2003 for Best Rock Gospel Album and two Dove Awards....The band broke into the mainstream in 2004 after Capitol signed them upon the release of their fourth record, Mmhmm, which debuted at #15 on the Billboard 200. It produced three top five hits on Christian radio and two top 20 hits on mainstream radio. Their fifth album, Five Score and Seven Years Ago, debuted at #6 on the U.S. Billboard 200. As of July 11, 2007, it had sold 152,560 copies in the US..that's awesome..hehehe

Thanks for the write-up.
The only song of theirs I'm familiar with is "Who i am hates who i've been" I remember seeing the video for this before a few years back.
I didn't know they were a Christian band.
I don't really listen to Christian music although two of my all-tiime favorite bands are Sunny Day Real estate and Sense Field.
I just wanted to write something b/c i hate it when my posts go without a response. :)
