[[File:relientk6_8462.jpg|frame|Relient K]]
[[Relient K]] is a band, founded in 1998 in Canton, Ohio, although their first full-length album was released in 2000. Starting out, they possessed a distinctly punk-pop sound and have a penchant for quirky lyrics, puns, and, early on especially, pop culture references. These days their sound is a [[Neoclassical Punk Zydeco Rockabilly|folk-alt-rock-punk-something]] [[Better Than It Sounds|blend]]. Current members are comprised of Matthew Thiessen (vocals, guitar, and piano), Matthew Hoopes (backing vocals, guitar), John Warne (more backing vocals, bass), Jon Schneck (guitar, banjo, bells, yet more backing vocals), and Ethan Luck (drums, and yes, even more backing vocals). They are a [[Christian Rock]] band, although not always explicitly so.
