Relient K is an American, Christian band from Ohio that was formed in 1998. The band name comes from the car Plymouth Reliant (K Car). Stylistically, the band can be classified as fun punk or modern rock. She comes from the Christian cultural scene in the USA, but has also made it into the commercial music scene due to distribution agreements. In their lyrics, the band members partly deal with their Christian faith , but mainly problems typical of teenagers and young people.
In 2002 the band toured with Bleach , to which Relient-K drummer Jared Byers had previously switched.
On April 22, 2013, drummer Ethan Luck announced on Facebook that he had left the band.
