The Bird and the Bee Sides [Digipak]

Performer: Relient K
Distributor: WEA (Distributor)

Notes: Fans of Christian CCM outfit Resilient K have reason to celebrate with THE BIRD AND THE BEE SIDES, a collection of EP outtakes and previously unavailable tracks. The fact that this material is lesser known, however, doesn't diminish Resilient K's familiar punk-pop punch, witty lyrics, and spiritual focus. Acoustic tracks such as "Up and Up" and "Fallen Man" show the band's softer side, while "Wit's All Been Done Before" rocks at full tilt. The set is particularly notable for its rarities, such as the previously vinyl-only "The Vinyl Countdown," and the songs "Here I Go" and the funky, quirky "The Stenographer." At 26 tracks, THE BIRD AND THE BEE SIDES is a cornucopia of secret delights for followers of CCM and Christian indie rock, proving that Resilient K's secondary material can be just as compelling as their better-known studio efforts.

Christian alternative band Relient K had been together since 1998, and released three albums that did well among believers who valued the band's humor and snappy punk-influenced tuneage. On the release of their fourth album (and major label debut ) in 2004, the band enjoyed wide popular success. Both this record and its 2006 follow-up hit the Billboard Top 20, and the band toured extensively with both Christian acts and mainstream rockers, further underlining their insistence that the "Christian punk" tag was largely irrelevant.
