The Making Of 'Forget And Not Slow Down'

[sccrrules121212]

reliable j - you guys are the greatest!

[nesbittheisman10]

VINCE GILL!!!

[ClimaxJumper]

Matt DEMOLISHED that Orange lol

[TheSignatureK]

So, it's pronounced Teesin? and not Thiessen? TTThhiessen I like the "TH" sound.

[themorganthattcould]

Well trust me, all of the hard work put into this album has paid off. Your sound is so mature, and your lyrics are so real. I've loved you guys for about six years now, and every time that i listen to your songs is as good as the first time.

[foundinthee]

Such a beautiful place to record music!

[rkfan100]

Just two years late releasing this video. Still enjoyable to watch.

[4ourty5ive]

@rkfan100 A good bit of this footage was released while they were actually making the record, because they were sent out each week as a podcast from the band, updating fans on the progress of the record. But YES, this is the first time this vid has been available as a whole and oh, how enjoyable it really is to see. Gotta love it. Go relient k.

[tange606]

21:23 favorite part.

[libertyhopeful18]

hey. you guys. should definitely do some beach boys covers for your next tour. like heroes and villains or surfs up. something from smile :DDD

[RyceMyce]

24:35

[LanTolleson]

Every time I listen to Forget and Not Slow Down, I love it more and more. I can't wait for another full album by Relient K, my favorite band!

[PandaceMcFrizzle]

I do that thing to my piano all the time on like 33:05.

[PandaceMcFrizzle]

still happy I got a Relient K wristband de hot topic. I wear it like... all the time. Just wanna say that.

[PandaceMcFrizzle]

You guys should do a show in Jersey's Six Flags in Jackson... on a day when I can actually go. That... would be AWESOME! It'd be better if I was like, front row or somethin' and got to meet you all (hint hint) but yeah a jersey concert would be fine.

[PandaceMcFrizzle]

21:15-21:25... hilarious

[LegoSpiderman1246]

if i where to start a band i would want to be like you guys!

[PandaceMcFrizzle]

@LegoSpiderman1246 me too...

[LegoSpiderman1246]

@PandaceMcFrizzle yeah i know right, they rock!



[johnthemon23]

this will probably be controversial, but I think Forget and not Slow Down is their best album, and therefore the greatest album ever made.

[PandaceMcFrizzle]

@johnthemon23 Well I agree with you.



[Shepsterof92]

i Second what @NathanielJamesMusic had to say. Relient K... IS the BAND. They really are. The BEST.

[BearInfestedWaters]

It's Bass day, or Awesome day as I like to call it

[cThreep]

I loved it, but I got really thirsty during the last few minutes. (subliminal messaging) But really, I loved it. Forget and not....is an amazing album

[GarrettDarksaber2]

@mekkobell I think they only went to high school together like he did with Adam young but I could be wrong. In the album ocean eyes by owl city Matt did vocals and duets with Adam

[limeygreen335]

its so great to see the background behind this album! i love the new one, too! you guys have changed my life and PLEASE keep making music (:

[GUITARWITHWINGS]

I came home from college and showed my parents your Chicago cover and the cover of Africa. I think you have 2 new fans. Boom. (btw i bought the Anatomy of tongue in cheek way back in 01 and you have remained my favorite band ever since)

[ExquisiteHarmonies]

This album is genious!!

[RelientkGirl897]

So excited for the new album, crossing my fingers y'all make it like Mmhmm; however i know im going to love it no matter what. Thank yall so much for making songs that just mean alot. The thing alot of my friends and i say is, theres a relient k song for every emotion, and its true. Thank You.

[StephanieJoy92]

Hahah, I choked on a grape I was eating when Vince called Matt "Mac" and "Jack" from laughing. :)

[TehGate28]

What ever happened to "Part Of It"?

[spidertroy4]

@TehGate28

What do you mean??

[miji58]

this makes me super excited to see them play in january :D

although i fear that i'm gonna spend way too much time pausing this video trying to look at all the pictures between the cuts in the outtakes at the end haha

[HXCLUKEDRUMS]

this is awesome

[BarrytheK2011]

hey guys...please- more original music. I like the covers thing....but I dig your music more!!!!

[Fivefires24]

Easily one of the best albums ever made. And I mean easily.

[spidertroy4]

@Fivefires24

Amen.

[charmingmoca]

YOU GUYS! PLS COME PLAY A SHOW IN LOS ANGELES!!! DNT FORGET UR FANS IN SOCAL

[RelientKLinds]

This was food for my soul :)

Positively adore Relient K with all of my heart.

[libertyhopeful18]

the first time i got this album i literally listened to it all the way through 100 times. literally in my itunes library each song had at least 100 plays. after watching this my interest has been renewed for at least 100 more :D thanks for making great music!

[cigiesandvtines]

John Warne vs. Flea.

YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST!

[renedel21]

John Warne, I love the bass lines you come up with! They are awesome and add so much to the songs!!!

[marzipanmurder]

This documentary is amazing. So glad something like this was made for my favourite Relient K record.

[scplace51]

Thanks for being such awesome dudes! As a long time listener its great to have this inside view to the band, what you guys are like, and how you do what you do.  Keep it up and I can't wait to hear what you come up with next!

[mekkobell]

MATT T.  WHY DIDN'T YOU STAY WITH KATY PERRY?!.....

[Curly4676]

No resisto ver el video y entender poco o nada. Por favor ponganle subtitulos es español. Saludos desde Mendoza-Argentina

[Curly4676]

Por favor pongan subtitulos en español...

[darrellspivey]

This made me like Forget and Not Slow Down more :)

[Sebaastgeen]

This webisode made me so happy! I absolutely love Relient K and FANSD! Being able to see everyone in that behind the scenes recording was just so natural and so fun! You guys are so influential on my life, and I can never stop listening to your music!! Keep on making great music, you guys are the best!

[tsubassarulz]

In what 'P.E.' class do you throw friz-bee's and use tyre swings???? Or is it just my school that enforces football, rugby etc?

[jimmypautz]

I am so glad I watched this. I just got my signed K is for Karaoke and I've been in a Relient K-y mood lately. Keep doing what you're doing! (and come to Milwaukee)

[justawholelottastupi]

No Jon, you're supposed to put the sunglasses ON after you say the cheesy one-liner. CSI-Miami 101.

[Baeacuda]

you guys no matter what your music is awesome and just makes stress just wash off of people and let them enjoy life and actually go out and just have fun you guys rule!!!!!!!!!!

[shockedbyjoy]

Nice video! I was hoping for more about the lyrics but it was cool to see the musical thought process. And bless you for not falling to autotuned temptation.

[thundabolt16sta]

If this is your sixth record...then whats "The bird and the bee sides"?

[shockedbyjoy]

@thundabolt16sta The Bird and the Bee Sides was a b-sides (songs unused on the studio albums) collection.

[AnimationCreator4]

@thundabolt16sta an EP just like "Is for karaoke" and "Apathetic" EP

[ethanluck]

@thundabolt16sta It was an EP & B Sides collection. Not a studio album

[mrowks]

Yes guys, Forget and Not Slow Down is an AMAZING record. I have no doubt that this next one will also be!! (Eagerly anticipating.)

[rubitard]

Watching this made me fall in love with the album all over again. Thanks for rekindling the romance. Wait, that sounds kinda weird.

[jasonparasmusic]

Its cool that u guys use a live drum set up

[ethanluck]

@jasonparasmusic As opposed to?

[jasonparasmusic]

@ethanluck as opposed to how most bands record with kits generated on a key board as of using protools or live8.

[Takeshiso]

Excelent!!! i was waiting for this work by cale and Relient k, t is a great documentary, this album is great. I also liked the subliminal mini scenes at the end on the bloopers.

[stupidboy32]

Funny bloopers

[miji58]

love this. i always thought the FNSD album was very organic and classic sounding, and i really like it that way :)

good job to cale on the doco.

[btkrick]

nvm. i just noticed their tweet with the link to this video... ha. i'm dumb.

[btkrick]

So... am i wrong in thinking that when they bring up "new record" they're talking about F&NSD? idk... everyone keeps saying, "I can't wait for the new record!" but they never really discussed a new new one. ha. idk, maybe it's just me. the whole 'is for karaoke' album does come out today... but i don't think that's what other people are referring to... ha.

[purplepenguin09]

@btkrick When they tweeted this video, they said it was to hold us over as they're writing for the new album. The "Is For Karaoke" is just an in-between E.P. kind of deal. Relient K has always been a band that kept new music coming for its fans. It's just a guess, but seeing as they are in the process of writing new music, there will probably be a new album by next year sometime.

[Natrone011]

I am SO happy this finally came out. Been waiting on it for two years!

Very cool for a tone nerd like me to see all the time, effort, and thought put into the guitars on F&NSD. All of that work definitely payed (paid?) off in the end. I'm still looking back and referencing those tones when I try to come up with some good sounds.

Honestly, my favorite album you guys have put out, and I'm very excited to see what another couple of years of waiting will bring us! Keep rockin' boys.

[Wrylis]

Relient K,

I learned about you from a friend in jr. high when I was just a kid. Since then I've gone through heart-wrenching relocations across the 'states away from my friends and all that was familiar, but you've always been there for me. I feel like I've grown up with you always by my side in the years where one needs it most. I've listened to your sound and lyrics mature right alongside myself.

I'll love you unconditionally, for the rest of my life.

ps: Savannah and Jefferson Aeroplane

[PaleMammoth]

Love it you guys!!!!!!!!!!!! FORGET was the best album yet! can't wait for the new record

[alecstrickland]

Way to bring the awesome. I worked at Dark Horse for a min and it's great to see you guys crank it out. Great film work as well. Solid all around! Party on.

[alexandriarucker]

so great! such an amazing album. thank you! you're music always helps me and im sure many other fans. <3

[agnesinwonderland]

I <3 Relient K! :D

[possumforeliot]

This is sweet guys. I don't care that it took two years to be released, I enjoyed you guys enjoying life and music.

[aaronz26]

This is awesome, Forget and Not Slow Down helped me through one of the hardest times in my life... here's hoping the next one is even better

[BlGBenY]

lol, funny with the baseball bat as a drum xD

[TARDIS43]

This was worth every minute. I never really thought about how much work went in to the making of brilliant albums such as this. Congratulations on a great record guys!

[outofourhands456]

so, i have to ask.  You guys are one of my favorite bands and songwriters altogether and your music really just identifies with me and illustrates what's going on in my head and in my heart sometimes, and i really appreciate you guys doing what you're doing, and your honesty in your melodies and lyrics has really inspired and influenced me as a songwriter...so i have to ask. do you have any advice for someone who's really into music and songwriting who really wants to pursue it as a career?

[onelegchair]

I was at that six flags show. :)

[sendtobo]

Relient K!! You inspire my own guitar creativity!! I can't wait for the next album! Great Job on the Karaoke EP :)



[relientnick]

thanks for the awesome you guys are the best

[gnatalie13]

Aww.. I opened a Twitter account while they were doing this so I could follow them closer..as if that's not creepy. I remember racing to the computer to watch the podcasts too. I can't believe the album is two-years-old already. <3

[jackanthonysays]

Sooo Stoked for the new record fellas!!! randomly got back into a "Forget and not slow down" mood lately at work and it's been gettin me through my days!

[BlGBenY]

It such a good concept to lock in a hut, it probably really keeps you focused. we all saw the musically perfect outcome!!! Thanks RelientK

[sunnywithahigh75]

I'll always be excited for a new Relient K album!

[NathanielJamesMusic]

You guys are my biggest musical inspiration by far; favorite band for about 6 years (since I actually started getting into music). Relient K has helped me bond with friends, get through tough times, and is just there for me when I'm alone. (For instance right now I'm alone in my college dorm room watching it. I don't have many friends here, but this made it ok. Thanks again guys, and please don't be afraid to proclaim God's love publicly. It is what got me into your music in the first place!

[dylanageegibson]

This album is their Pinkerton. It's amazing, it's their best (thus far), it is perfect in every way. However, it definitely hasn't had the kind of promotion and hype that it deserves. I hope that in years from now, like Pinkerton, this album will become a cult classic. It deserves no less. Thank you, Matt, Matt, John, Jon, Ethan, and all of those involved with this record. You have made a masterpiece and something truly worth being proud of.

[LaraAgk17]

I've always wanted to see you guys live :( Your music is such an inspiration to me, it helped me through bad days and good days. Thanks for everything. God bless you.

[BlGBenY]

Oh and btw: any chance that you ever come to Germany? I would be there ;)

[NathanielJamesMusic]

Thank you so much for filming and posting this. You guys will probably never know how much you mean to me. The best way I can describe it (and what I tell all my friends) is that Relient K is to me, what the Beatles were to the rest of the world.

[PandaceMcFrizzle]

@NathanielJamesMusic same here.

[BlGBenY]

I'm really looking forward to your next record and hope that it will give me new confidence in God like all your albums before "Forget and Not Slow Down".

I still regard "Forget and Not Slow Down" as a masterpiece, beautifully arranged and assembled with much love as a complete oevre.

Greeting from Germany from one of your biggest fans and thanks for this video :D

[godlymanforever]

I would buy this on DVD. Special Edition, acoustic tracks, remixes, you know, the usual.

Also, a coast to coast US tour would be awesome...

[godlymanforever]

Matty T's hair FTW!

[aprilk04]

Awesome to finally get to see this! Cale did an awesome job and I love that he managed to get a couple shots of me in there! I'm proud to say I went to every show on the mini west coast tour and it was a blast. Thank you, RK for continuing to be amazing. Looking forward to the new cover album too!!!

[brandonmauseth]

Here goes an hour of my night.

[BANGuzman]

This was by far the best album yet. The next album will be better IF!

...they fit in a punk rock song or two. Or three...

[heinzfoot57]

wow! no way! so glad this is out! gettin me pumped for new stuff, thanks for sharing!

[lostinhair1234]

This is so awesome. :D It's the webisodes and epicness all smushed together into one awesome video!! :D

[Sabrower]

Amazing!! I love Relient K!!

[justinvmak]

oops killed the thread... sorry guys lol



[kaitlynm56]

I started watching this and then about 20 minutes into it I realized that I had already seen it, back when you posted the vlogs on facebook. Also, my name is in that list. Awww yeaah!

[RelientKBand]

@kaitlynm56 There's waaaaaay more footage than in those webisodes. Watch the whole thing!

[kaitlynm56]

@RelientKBand Oh don't worry. I definitely did!

[renedel21]

@kaitlynm56 My name was in there too!!! Cool of the band to do that! Thanks guys =D

[CorrinCampbell]

Looks fun, guys. Trying to get the Army to go with Dark Horse for my upcoming EP, so this close-up look at some of the space is awesome. Also just great to learn more about the process on y'all's level. :) AND the album rawked, so it's cool to see it in pieces now, after falling in love with it as a whole.

[justinvmak]

@RelientKBand i dont know how to ask this without seeming insensitive... so let me just say that you are my favorite band of all time! if ur still online replying to people though, im curious:

the lyrics on your last few albums have been less geared toward faith in God... and im just wondering how deliberate that is. i hear a lot of people talking about that and im just wondering... thanks!

[swimforthemusicx]

loved this! can't wait for the rest of the ep tomorrow, and hopefully you guys will go on tour soon.. stopping in canada of course! ;) this has put me in such a great mood and as cheesy/lame as it sounds, i feel so fortunate to have your music in my life, it gets me through so much. you guys are the best! <3

[sbheringer]

hahaha john warne is hilarious!!!!

love it guys, keep rocking on!

hope someday you'll come to brazil :)

[justinvmak]

its awesome seeing you guys do your thing in this video. you probably will never realize how much your music has impacted my life as a christian. Saw you guys at rock the universe, first time ive ever gotten a chance to see you live. Thanks for being amazing, and real, and really amazing!

[PochiOwns]

Relient K. <3

[wazy2711]

I was totally In Texas when you guys played at six flags, and then you guys also played for the Key Club International Convention.:D

[dlln101]

You guys make such good music. So good. So real.

[GranthamAkerly]

I really really like Ethan Luck's tweets. yeah.

[tylerheston]

UGH. UGHHGHA;E. AGHL. HAK. VHAKE. DA;LVE. CAN'T BREATHE. AH.

[TheCaptainDane]

Forget and Not Slow Down is probably my favorite album ever recorded, and it's really cool to see how it was made. Thanks for putting this up guys!

[Nileprincessleah]

@relientkband you have NO idea how excited I am that a new album is in the works! I have had to buy duplicates of every cd because I listen to them so many times I wear them out!!!! I have already listened to "is for Karaoke" on repeat 3 times since getting it in the mail today!

[wtroo]

This is probably my favorite album of all time. you guys rock!

[Hawknelsonrocks101]

So I get to have my comment on the first page? Ok...Here I go...

[RelientKBand]

[frajeff91]

I'll watch it because I love Relient K, but I'll say this up front, I wasn't the biggest fan of FANSD...

[catsflykatterflyr]

I'm so happy this is up! Forget and Not Slow Down is one of my favorite albums by Relient K. It's beautifully written and expresses so much emotion. Thank you guys for making not only this album, but every other one. You truly are my favorite band.

[jonathanshane256]

I haven't even finished watching this but I like it already!!

[perrymason1]

WOW!
