More Details
If you've followed our band a bit over the last few years, you'd have noticed that we enjoy releasing recorded music apart from our "official" records. Lots of bands do it. Its always fun for us.
In the early spring of 2000, we printed an EP called 2000 A.D.D., months before our self-titled album came out. It was the first thing we'd ever done with a record label logo on it. I guess it seemed pretty special to us.
Ready, set, go.
We've been having a good time making Christmas records, EPs, and Acoustic releases ever since.
Meet the new EP.
Gotee signed us up for six. And for number six, we decided to release an EP, B sides, and rarities album called The Bird And The Bee Sides. The following is the track-list for the 26 songs that are going to be on the physical copy. Its everything that we could squeeze on to one disc, I promise. (the suits talked us out of doing a dual disc release) An additional, digital album will also be included with The Bird And The Bee Sides. We don't know how many songs are going to be on that yet. Again, we'll keep you posted.
The first thirteen make up The Nashville Tennis EP.
These songs are new tunes. Track six is a new version of the previously recorded song, The Thief.
The last thirteen songs have never been sold in a record store. Some have been on various EPs we've done, some are acoustic covers of album tracks, and some are demos. All of them have been remastered, and a lot of them have been remixed.
The Bird And The Bee Sides.
Its going to be a cardboard digipak, the price of a normal cd, and available in stores July 1.
Please pass this message on to anyone you know who might care. Please.
Head here to check out a new song called The Scene And Herd.
Stay tuned!
Matty.

so is there any reason you chose those titles? what's the story behind them, cause even if it's stupid, there must be one :)
perfect timing for summer!! yay!
Cool! Whats an EP?
Oh. My. Gosh. I am freaking out inside, but maintaining a calm persona on the outside. I can't wait!!!
Oh goodness. I am going to go buy a calender and multi-colored sharpies and mark down the days. You can count on me to be outside the record store well before midnight on the last day of June. Okay, I must now proclaim the amazingness to everyone i know.
P.S I am liking the title "Wits all been done before" nice
The Scene and the Herd is flat out awesome. Am wearing out the myspace player. Well done RK!
YAY, YAY!!! I'm SOO excited!!!!!!!!!
gots dis baybay on preorder!
Wow.. I think you were trying for the Guiness Book of Records on the longest ep ever recorded. I think the definitions have been changed? LOL I love it, though.
Really looking forward to the acoustic version of Fallen Man.
I also listened to The Scene and Herd on Myspace. I like it. I think some of that needed to be said. :) I"m also looking forward to hearing the new version of The Thief. The title sounds quite different.
I'll be preordering. I have my ticket for Warped and was wondering if any of those songs will make it on the set list.
Sounds awesome, Matt. Where can I pre-order this thing? Can't wait to buy this.
PS: Addicted to "The Scene And Herd", keep replaying it.

Call me crazy, but The Birds and the Bee Sides seems to be for all the newer fans :P
Nothing against the newer fans though. Although I am pumped, since I can't even find the Vinyl Countdown on Ebay.
Woo!!
WHOOOO!!!!!
I"m so buying this:D
A different drummer but the same old beat :)
I love the new song and I'm going to buy this ep!
Hey RK!
Love to hear your new record(s). Hope they'll be available soon here as well as in the US, though usually it takes some extra months :(.
Love from Holland&GodBless!
Petra :D
Your 'add comment' button is making me very angry.
Well that's good news.. except I'm poor. haha. I didn't even hear about you guys til like a week ago. Shows how big of a nerd I am.
I'm excited! I love the new song, but I wish I could read the lyrics somewhere...
Tu fan número 1 en México.
Cantas genial... simplemente el mejor.
adios
your fan number 1 in Mexico
You sing genially... simply the best.
bye
Your new simple one is Super!!!
Wow... haven't followed Relient K since my teenage years (so, like, eh... 4 years ago?), but reading the "Beeside" demos really makes me want to break out my Employee of the Month EP and Creepy EP.
Also, today I went to see a show at a small venue in Rochester where I saw you guys play back in 2000 or 2001. There were probably only 50-75 people there. One of my most favorite shows ever, even to this day. :-)
Relient K is just about the most amazing band ever and when I found out about this EP I just about died! I already found the first secret song [which I already had] and I can't wait for the whole CD to come out!
great to hear some cuts from the new album...been following you guys for a while....loved the show quite a few years back at King's Dominion where Dave broke 3 snare drum heads in one song...great set! your music has always been an inspiration and a good anecdote in all sorts of times...if you want to see some RK inspired "art" check it out on my blog
Here's a couple Thiessen videos for you:
