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".
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 have now recently released their fifth full length record, Five Score and Seven Years Ago.
