Recording information: Dark Horse Recording, Franklin, Tennessee. If anyone doubted the influential nature of Christian pop culture in the United States during 2004, they could be directed to the group Relient K, a shining example of crossover success with the mainstream. Though the ensemble is comprised of Born Again Christians and maintains a large following in the church-going world, the band's music offers few clues regarding the members' faith-based lifestyle. A melodic and finely-honed mix of pop-punk and emo, Relient K's sound combines substantial and upbeat--but never preachy--lyrics with all the best features of its entirely secular counterparts, including whip-tight musicianship, spot-on vocal harmonies, and mosh-ready beats. In addition, the band incorporates the strings, tinkling pianos, and gentle vocals of artists like Travis and Rufus Wainwright, adding a welcome dollop of gravity to the proceedings. Relient K's ace-in-the-hole, however, is its treatment of lyrical subject matter; forgoing blind faith in favor of frank acceptance and mature solutions, the group effectively blurs the line between CCM and mainstream rock.
