Relient K goes country

Relient K is getting ready to release a new album…kinda. It’s really 2 albums on 1 cd titled “The Bird and the Bee Sides” that comes out July 1. The first 13 songs are BRAND NEW and are titled The Nashville Tennis EP. You can check out one of the new tunes, “The Scene and Herd” at their MySpace. The next 13 are rare b-sides that have been remixed and thus titled “The Bird and the Bee Sides”. You can pre-order it now HERE and here’s some more info on the new album.

The Bird and the Bee Sides begins with a baker’s dozen of original new tunes collected under the moniker of The Nashville Tennis EP. With all five members writing and taking turns on lead vocals, it’s perhaps Relient K’s most diverse effort to date, including Thiessen’s alt-country “At Least We Made It This Far,” bassist John Warne’s “The Last, The Lost, The Least,” which is explosive both sonically and in its social commentary, and new drummer Ethan Luck’s punk rock reggae “No Reaction,” to name but a few highlights. As for the “Bee Sides” Relient K remixed and re-mastered 13 tracks, including an acoustic version of hit single “Who I Am Hates Who I’ve Been”. There are also tunes from The Vinyl Countdown, The Employee Of The Month EP, The Creepy EP, The Apathetic EP and, as Thiessen puts it, “a ton of other stuff that you can’t even find on the internet – at least not yet.”

Also, don’t forget to catch these guys rock out all summer long on the entire Warped Tour!
