Thanks For Dinner Matt

[Caleb Cattivera]

Relient K (http://www.myspace.com/relientk) will be heading into the studio this Sunday with producer Howard Benson (The All American Rejects and My Chemical Romance) to record their fifth full length album. More details coming soon.

[agloriousruin]

Great news! Hopefully the will continue to grow as much as they did for Mmmhmm. Great band, great guys and I wish them the best of luck!

[Katie Schmitz]

Awesome news, Caleb!

[ClemTiger0408]

Great news! Too bad I wont have another great Pop Punk album to rock out to over this summer.

[Caleb Cattivera]

[pressingon07]

[the sob]

awesome news. havent seen the relient k icon in a long time.

[Big_Guy]

Mmhmm had some pretty well written, catchy pop punk songs, but the lyrics were pretty bad.

[NFG4ever]

MMhmm was amazing , is this Matt guy new?

[Caleb Cattivera]

MMhmm was amazing , is this Matt guy new?

haha what?

[shermanology]

Don't they have like a banjo player or something now. I heard there was going to be some bluegrass elements.

I am not even joking.

john plays some banjo, and will continue to do so, but he also plays guitar mostly.

[FOBPrettyNPunk]

I think a few songs on Mhmm have a banjo. Exciting news Relient K never lets down.

[jusscali]

great way to start the day...hopefully we will see it in 2006. make the year even better

[Chriz2z]

Awesome... I can't wait for another album. Once again, they kind of drove me into music. And they're awesome guys.

[Caleb Cattivera]

you will.

[unwritten]

yay...anticipation.

[squared82]

Relient K's started a flash animation series over at their Myspace called Woodland Forest. Its awesome.

[costello.]

yay for this comment. relient k was the band that got me into the music i listen to now about ohhhh, 7 years ago haha. kudos.

Yeah, same here, without Relient K I probably wouldn't even know about music in general...
I only learned about them six years ago, haha, I was in third grade.

[squared82]

I wonder why they're not going with Mark Townsend again. He always did a solid job with them before.

[Caleb Cattivera]

haha i was a junior in high school. crazy.

probably capitols decision.

although, mark may do some of the tracks, howard is only doing 8.

Haha, that is amazing.

[hotwax87]

Mmhmm had some pretty well written, catchy pop punk songs, but the lyrics were pretty bad.then you just didnt get it. the lyrics were the best you will ever find on any punk pop album.

[bjam12]

then you just didnt get it. the lyrics were the best you will ever find on any punk pop album.

exactly.

[hotwax87]

definently a great band

[mybreakingpoint]

this should be spectacular

[NoseOverTail]

mmHmm is one of the most consistently amazing releases in recent memory. That album means so much to me.

[TBSowns524]

I've been watching this band grow for about 5 years now. I love these guys, MMHMM was impressive.

[Ruggiero2oo8]

mmhmm is one of the catchiest releases ever.

[armegeddon]

MMhmm was amazing , is this Matt guy new?

Uhhh...He's the vocalist...

[boldt_action]

great news.

[lalalie_]

horray!
i love relient k

that rhymes...hmmm

[piaffeprncess98]

Sweet, I love Relient K.

[bass ampss]

Charles in charge of our dayss and our nights

[dutycalls]

probably capitols decision.

although, mark may do some of the tracks, howard is only doing 8.


I think this move is more significant than people think. He has produced or co-produced (with Matt T.) everything they've done, dating back to All Work No Play, where Thiessen put on a sweet fake British accent. It'll be interesting to see how it turns out. I'm still excited about it though, no matter what this band puts out I'll still appreciate them. They got me into listening to music too.

[kittypants]

Awesome news, Caleb!

OH MY GOSH PAPER MARIO! oh and relient k rocks! I agree, awesome news!

[kittypants]

and I get the reference from the title, "Charles in Charge"..rock!

[radiofriendly]

does matt theissen have some solo stuff? where can i listen?

[hometownzero]

Good news. I'm looking forward to it.

MMhmm was amazing , is this Matt guy new?

Please tell me you're joking... If you didn't know, Matt's always been the vocalist for Relient K.

[dillonzach86]

Yes! I'm super excited.

It will be weird to see another producer's name on this record, even if Townsend ends up doing some songs. I've enjoyed a lot of records produced by Howard Benson though, so at least it's someone with an impressive resume.

According to RK's manager, they aren't recording just yet: (http://relientk.forumsunlimited.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=156856&view=findpost&p=3724735)
"They start pre-production on the record next week. there's no recording date set yet. no release date set yet. howard benson will be producing part of the record."

[squared82]

then you just didnt get it. the lyrics were the best you will ever find on any punk pop album.

amen

[minusthejosh]

Great news. Relient K definitely have perfected the art of "pop-punk".

[dan.is.empire]

a gooooood

[average_jane]

that is so great to hear. Relient K are the reason I love music today.

As I said, it will begin on Sunday. I spent about 4 hours with matt last night, it was our date night, and this is when he told me the news. i dont know who else to get the news from, than the man himself.

Wasn't questioning you at all. I just posted what Jeff said in response to your breaking news.

[ihavechappedlip]

Excellent RK reference!
