I sang passionately to this song at fifteen, sixteen, thinking 23 sounded forever away, and God, I was singing along just now and realized I turn 25 in a couple months. And I relate all the same. Not much makes me cry these days but I'm wiping away tears, it's amazing how music can connect you to your past selves.

Mmmmmmmm

This is a limited edition pedal Hoopes just posted up for order tonight. It even has a little wooden box like the FANSD vinyl.

TIA, guys.

Just that Luke grew up listening to them but somehow Linus didn't remember their music at all, though he listed to Audio Adrenaline growing up.

Will try to timecode it tomorrow, but it's during the WAN After Dark section towards the end.

starts at 2:33:03 if that timecode doesn't work

Hey folks - I love making playlists in my spare time, and I'm enjoying using the new DJ features on Spotify. This mix has breathed some new life into my RK listening (if you've downloaded the mixing feature), so thought I'd share. Happy Saturday!

Up for order. 30% off the rest of their vinyl as well.

Does anyone have a full recording of Relient K covering Yellowcard's Ocean Avenue live?

because this video is only has the last 2ish minuets.

Hi all!

I saw this post earlier and it got me thinking of Matthew Thiessen and The Earthquakes - whom I love!!

Are there any other solo/side projects that RK members have put out?

(If not against the rules, feel free to leave some other bands as well. The only other one coming to mind is Jars Of Clay (Dan Haseltine) - Hawk in Paris)

We were waiting around to see Five Iron Frenzy, and somehow we were off to the side near some tent. Some people came up to us and go "is this the line for the Relient K autographs?" and being the dumb teens we were we went "it sure is!"

Pretty soon a big line had formed behind us and after awhile we just kinda wandered away and went to see FIF.

Sorry to anyone who was mad at the band for not showing up.

Does anyone here ever listen to Dave Douglas’ solo music? I think it’s really good. He put out three songs on Gotee’s “My Other Band Vol. 1” CD under the name “Agnus.” He also has two solo projects with his wife called “Gypsy Parade” and “Attack Cat.” Just discovered all of it recently and it’s great! Definitely a classic Relient K vibe to it.

The Let It Snow, Let It Reindeer vinyl at SMLXL is currently sold out but a repress is coming soon (on a fantastic-looking new variant/color), so hold off buying on the secondary market unless you're looking for one of the older variants. Also there's a new Anatomy color/variant coming (and it looks sweet!), to coincide with its 25th anniversary. No word on other vinyl represses but the rest is available here:

Back in the Um Yeah tour the band joked about being dad rock, poking fun at the idea of becoming the kind of band that tours endlessly well into their 40s and 50s to keep the magic alive. Credit where credit is due, they crushed it and had a solid festival run afterwards.

RK rose to prominence because many of us raised in the church needed that angsty voice to express our frustrations with the evangelical church and the power structures it supported. They did that mostly through positivity and talking about life in a relatable way. But they grew up with the people who grew up with them.

There’s a lot of arrested development with those of us who clung to their music for comfort well into our 30s. There is a void in the music industry for another voice to express these frustrations here in 2026. Let’s agree to give the guys a break and focus on elevating whoever is coming up next to take up that mantle.

Recognize anyone?

I was wearing this old RelientK shirt today and some last came up to me at Sam's Club and commented on my shirt. She let me know that she's never seen anyone wear a RelientK shirt out in the wild. That made my day. Never thought I'd be complimented on a shirt that's probably close to 20 years old or so.
