"Which To Bury; Us Or The Hatchet?" by Relient K

Formed in Ohio in the late 90s, Relient K is one of those so-called pop punk bands. They market themselves as Christian punk, which seems blasphemous to both music and religion.

The band scored a couple of Top 100 hits off their 2004 album, "Mmhmm." "Be My Escape" reached #82 in 2005 and "Who I Am Hates Who I've Been" peaked at #58 the next year. As common with bands of this genre, most of their songs are indistinguishable from one another and they struggled to maintain relevance after the pop punk fad faded.

That's not to say that their rather extensive catalogue doesn't contain some shiny nuggets. "Which To Bury; Us Or The Hatchet?" is one of the underrated highlights I enjoy from "Mmhmm."
