I was maybe Switchfoot and Relient K were among the leaders of that movement. Both bands formed around the same time — Switchfoot in and Relient K in — in a Christian alternative-rock moment enabled by the world-beating success of U2 who only flirted with the idea of going non-secular early in their career. And while both bands kept making record after record, they each increasingly slipped into mainstream culture.
Those moments seem like they happened ages ago, but both bands are still extremely prolific. The band has ramped up charity efforts with its annual Bro-Am surf competition, and even released a documentary of its travels to accompany the album Fading West. Relient K has also been touring on and off, but its roster of official members has been whittled down to two: Matt Thiessen aka my high school crush and Matt Hoopes, who are both based in Nashville now.
Thiessen also has side projects; he co-wrote a song for ex-girlfriend Katy Perry and helped produce some Owl City tracks. The five video podcasts include various scenes in the studio, as well as the band doing things outside the studio, much like the video podcasts made by Switchfoot. The first two video podcasts showed the band in the studio preparing for the recording of Five Score and Seven Years Ago , and Dave Douglas recording the drum parts, respectively.
The third video podcast was a collection of footage and discussions from the Nintendo Fusion Tour, and a Mario Kart DS Tournament between the five band members. The fourth video podcast showed Jon Schneck and Dave Douglas preparing for a boxing match which is also included and completed in the Wal-Mart "Devastation and Reform" video , and the fifth video podcast showed the completion of the battle.
There is a sixth unreleased video podcast including John Warne fulfilling his lifelong dream of walking into a room with the AutoZone Theme Song playing. It can be found on YouTube at the present time, and it is currently unofficially released on the site, as it has not made it to the band's official site. Their eighth video podcast is about the band going to see millions of bats fly at sundown.
The last podcast is a short video showing the band playing a game they made up called"Gum Golf" which they came up during the release of their Christmas album " Let it Snow, Baby He started it in , around the time Relient K was started. He has released seven songs either online or on various CD releases.
Thiessen also has The Makeout Girls, a less serious side project that features himself and his friend, Kevan Peden. Former drummer Dave Douglas created a project called Agnes , a solo rock project that somewhat resembles the sound of Relient K's earlier music with his own twist.
Douglas also started a project called Gypsy Parade , a softer project that he started with his wife, Rachel.
They have released two demo songs on their MySpace with more expected. Douglas amicably left Relient K to further pursue this project. Ethan Luck, the current drummer, was involved with the Christian metal band Demon Hunter until late , but he also has a side project called My Red Hot Nightmare. Three tracks were featured on the compilation album My Other Band, Vol. Relient K was part of a fundraiser called "Habitat for Humanity" with other Christian bands. Matt Thiessen and Jon Foreman Switchfoot's lead singer and guitarist wrote a song called "Rebuild" to help raise even more money.
