At last night's Relient K show, Matt Thiessen said that even though Collapsible Lung was supposed to be released "next week," it's now scheduled for a July release date.
Just to clarify a few things about Relient K. (From our previous post)
1. We will be doing the upcoming tour as a full band, and we are very excited about it! Dan Gartley and Tom Breyfogle will be performing on bass and drums respectively. They are both amazing friends (from Canton, OH), and incredibly talented musicians.
2. We are all still friends, and only want the best for each other.
3. Our new album "Collapsible Lung" is finished and will be coming out soon. It was made by all five of us. We apologize for the delays thus far. We are so excited about it and can't wait for you to hear it!
Relient K has released a new song called "That's My Jam" that they did while recording their new album. It's a playful song that references a bunch of popular music from the 1990s. Check it out in the replies.
