For KING & COUNTRY is a GRAMMY award winning Christian rock/pop duo who’s members are Australian-American brothers Joel and Luke Smallbone. Both born in Sydney, their family moved to Nashville in 1991 where they were introduced to the music industry. In 2007, they began performing as their own band starting off as ‘Joel & Luke’, and later ‘Austoville’. In 2009, they signed with Warner Music Group and changed their name to ‘for KING & COUNTRY’ after a British battle cry. In 2012, the band exceeded expectations with the release of their debut album,Crave.

The following year they won the New Artist of the Year award at the 2013 GMA Dove Awards. In September 2014, the band released their sophomore album, RUN WILD. LIVE FREE. LOVE STRONG. This album garnered unanimous critical praise and won the Best Contemporary Christian Music Album at the 57thAnnual GRAMMY Awards. The album debuted on iTunes at #1 and spent 17 weeks on the Billboard 200, peaking at No. 13. The band released a deluxe anniversary edition of the album in October 2015 including three new releases.
