American rock group Relient K is well-known for its contemporary Christian, alternative Christian, and Christian rock music. When they were in their third year of high school and attending Malone University in Canton, Ohio, Matt Thiessen, Matt Hoopes, and Brian Pittman founded the band. The spelling was changed to avoid trademark infringement, but the band's name is a play on guitarist Hoopes' Plymouth Reliant K vehicle.Relient K, who incorporate piano and acoustic elements into their style, has achieved success in both the mainstream pop punk and alternative rock genres. The group has put out nine studio albums, seven EPs, two Christmas albums, and one compilation of rarities since its inception. The group has won multiple honors, including two Dove Awards and a Grammy Award nomination in 2004 for Best Rock Gospel Album.
Three of the band's studio albums reached peak positions in the top 15 of the U.S. Billboard 200 list, demonstrating the band's commercial success. Their fourth and least successful album, Mmhmm, debuted at No. 15, while their fifth and most popular album, Five Score and Seven Years Ago, launched at No. 6 in 2007. 2009's Forget and Not Slow Down likewise made its debut among the top 15. Relient K has more than two million record sales and three RIAA-certified gold albums.
