Relient K is an American Christian rock band formed in 1998 in Canton, Ohio by Matt Thiessen, Brian Pittman, and Matt Hoopes during the band's junior year in high school and their time at Malone College. The band is named after guitarist Hoopes' automobile, a Plymouth Reliant K car, with the spelling intentionally altered to avoid trademark infringement over the Reliant name.

The group is associated with the Contemporary Christian Music culture, most notably the Christian rock and Christian punk scene. Despite being a Christian band the group has performed alongside secular artists. The band has reached critical success with mainstream pop punk and alternative rock. The band's sound incorporates piano and acoustic elements; and the lyrical content often refers to God, Jesus, and the terms "You" and "Him" are used in reference to God. Since its formation, Relient K has released six studio albums, seven EPs, two Christmas albums, and one collection of rarities. The band has received numerous awards including a Grammy Award nomination in 2003 for Best Rock Gospel Album and two Dove Awards.

Relient K is best known commercially for their two studio albums which peaked in the top 15 of the US Billboard 200 chart. After signing with Capitol Records, they broke into the mainstream in 2004 with the release of Mmhmm, which debuted at #15 on the Billboard 200. In 2007, their fifth album brought the most success for Relient K, Five Score and Seven Years Ago debuted at #6 on the US Billboard 200 and sold 60,000 records in its debut week. The band has sold over 2 million records, with three albums being given gold certification by the RIAA. The band is also highly successful throughout the Christian Albums and Contemporary Christian Music charts. Their newest album Forget and Not Slow Down was released on October 6, 2009.

Mmhmm Album
Mmhmm (also MMHMM, MmHmm, and mmhmm) is the fourth full-length album by Christian rock band Relient K, released in November 2004. This album is especially notable for two reasons: First, it marked their debut on Capitol; and second, it was Brian Pittman's last CD with the band. In addition to being released on Capitol and Gotee, Mmhmm was re-released on vinyl on Mono Vs Stereo. The re-release includes a song originally from Apathetic EP, called "Apathetic Way to Be". The singles "Be My Escape" and "Who I Am Hates Who I've Been", both found on Mmhmm, boosted Relient K's mainstream popularity. Although the song "High of 75" was never released to mainstream markets, it spent fifteen consecutive weeks in the CCM top ten.[citation needed]

Mmhmm earned the group a Canadian Juno Award nomination for Contemporary Christian/Gospel Album of the Year in 2006. In 2005, Mmhmm was certified Gold by the RIAA for sales in excess of 500,000 units in the United States. It has sold over 800,000 copies in the United States

I saw these guys live with Simple Plan and Good Charlotte in 2005...I was 17...The memories man...What a great concert...35 now and im still listening to all three bands...Go figure lol.

[natalie_rose]

They are so damn underrated. They belong up there with All American Rejects. This is a classic.

[XXRiotgirl]

why cant pop/punk be like this today? i swear from about 2000-2006 were the greatest.

[tahneejenkins]

I'm so glad I stumbled across this in 2024. What a jam, still is!

[triplejboys]

August 2024 Anybody?
👇
I was 14 in 2007 (started listening), and now I'm 30 still listen to it

[gwmf]

This band literally made me a more positive person. Been jamming them since 04

[maiselbarca]

this has to be one of my all time favorite songs

[markerman]

this guy actually stares INTO YOUR SOUL!!

[paolavallado]

Anybody else have memories of them on late night/early morning MTV back when they showed videos? That’s how I discovered them when I was 11!!

[sam]

Why cant music be like this nowadays? A sad 12 year old who's probably heard every punk song from the 2000's wants MORE

[mauitherapper]

This was the first band I had ever obsessed over. I used to listen to Relient K and the Fray non-stop. Especially when I played WoW when I was 8 years old. I'm 22 now and I legit tear up a bit when listening to them

[rooster]

I remember when this dropped i was like a freshman. Cant remember many thing but you play any chord from on of their song and im in. Rocked them in my cd player😂

[josephs]

Heard this song all throughout my childhood before my conversion. Years later realizing this song is about my LORD and savior Jesus Christ. The LORD continues to blow my mind. Praise be to God.

[Benjamin-omih]

I remember when these guys were in their hay day. They came and played a Christian music festival in my country. At the time I refused to listen to anything but metal back then. Still love metal but I really like pop punk too. What an awesome song this is

[AdamIshak]

MY GOSH THE MEMORIES AND NOSTALGIA!

I remember discovering them on those BMX/motorcycle games 🥹

[lukum]

2022 here. Still remember the lyrics and I haven’t heard this song in Came to me like a flood.

[gabe_s_videos]

So cool to see those (I can't believe I'm about to say this) old-fashioned music video credits in the bottom left corner of the screen.

[Alex-bwyd]

It’s crazy how many Christian Alt Rock bands popped up in the early-mid 2000’s and how unless you knew they were Christian you couldn’t even tell that they were. They never made the lyrics overtly religious and even if they were obviously religious they could be interpreted so many different ways. And they all kicked ass, they didn’t sound like gospel and they didn’t sound cringe. Relient K, Underoath, Taking Back Sunday, Flyleaf, Switchfoot, etc. . I knew about Taking Back Sunday and Relient K cuz I knew people the tangentially knew them personally, and Switchfoot I feel like a radio host said Christian band or something so I eventually found that out, but Underoath and Flyleaf I just learned about today. Had no idea. But going back and listening to I’m alive by Flyleaf it’s super, super obvious now.

[kolakokaa]

I was like 9 when this song came out and I distinctly remember seeing it on a morning top 10 list on the big box tv before school and being OBSESSED

I signed up for like fan boards to my email for this band, it was real

[SlymeGreen]

Matt was such a heartthrob back when I was 12.
