Relient K is the McDonalds of Emo music. They serve up tasty little melodies that stick in your head like cholesterol to your veins. & like Mickee-Dees, they crank em out. To date the quartet has sold over 2 million records, with three albums being given gold certification, and earned a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Gospel Album. In addition, Singer Matthew Thiessen continues to hold the billboard 200 hostage with Owl City’s Ocean Eyes and platinum single Fireflies which, like it or not, is in your head right now…
The group’s 2010 Bamboozle performance was the kickoff to their May tour with Paramore. Thiessen and the chaps came out swinging as mixing fan favorites with new material from their most recent album Forget and Not Slow Down. & Unlike Hoopes’ (guitar) old clunker, a Plymouth Reliant K, after which the band was named, these guys show no sign of slowing down. See the photos from the performance shown below.
