Relient K finds a new home

For the first time in their career Relient K will no longer be under Gotee records. After they put out the Bird and The Bee Sides EP last year, they had fulfilled their contract. So where are they going now? Here is Relient K with the scoop

"First off, we started recording the new record today! Right now we're working at Dark Horse Recording with our favorite producer, Mark Lee Townsend, and after we get some tracks recorded, we're going to travel back to CA to make some tunes with John Feldmann at the helm.

After we turned in The Bird And The Bee Sides, we fulfilled our first record deal (six albums) with Gotee Records. This made us free agents. Our plan? Matt Hoopes and I just signed up to begin positions as A&R for the soon to be resurrected Mono Vs. Stereo records. We'll sign a few bands a year, and also release Relient K's material through the label. We'll set up some email addresses soon with the specific purpose of receiving demos from unsigned artists. All this to say, we may eventually end up partnering up with the least evil of majors that expresses interest in giving us a helping hand. We'll just have to see. Fun stuff!!

Relientk.com is a temp site right now. Our apologies. Even though we're a bit notorious for having a terrible internet presence, we're planning an attempt to quickly rectify that reputation. Until then we'll lean on our myspace.

It's been a while since we've ventured out west (apart from Warped Tour), so we're going to do a short run of left side shows at then end of May. I've quickly become great friends with Adam Young from Owl City, and I'm really excited to announce that they'll be supporting us on all the dates. I'm also just as pleased to have Runner Runner and Classic Crime with us on selected dates... "

Please Enter the Studio

The snow is thawing. The birds are singing. And bands are heading back into the studio. It seems like everyone is working on new music. Showbread has announced they will be going in April 24th. Pillar is writing for their upcoming album which will have new members Rich Gilliland and Taylor Carroll on it. Day of Fire is currently in Asheville, that's right not Nashville, (apparently it's a little place in North Carolina) working on their next project. The new album from Emery, In Shallow Seas We Sail, now has a release date, it's coming out on June 2nd. Finally, the Devil Wears Prada has been busy working on their next release with Ferret Records. They have been giving us updates on it through their vlog, which you can see on youtube.

So which out of these releases are you excited for? Personally, I am kinda looking forward to new stuff from Day of Fire. They had a lot of potential back in the day, but never seem to go as far as I thought they would, so hopefully their third album can take them there.
