About

For King & Country, formerly known as Joel & Luke as well as Austoville, is a Christian pop duo composed of brothers Joel (born 5 June 1984) and Luke Smallbone (born 22 October 1986). The brothers were born in Australia and immigrated to the United States as children, settling in the Nashville area.

After releasing a short EP as Joel and Luke, they released their debut record Crave in 2012. The band was declared by Billboard as one of the "New Artists to Watch" for 2012. American Songwriter described them as "Australia's answer to Coldplay". In 2014, they released their second studio album, Run Wild. Live Free. Love Strong., which won a Grammy award.

In 2018, they released Burn the Ships, which achieved RIAA gold status. The album featured three singles, including "God Only Knows", which achieved platinum status, and "Joy" and "Burn the Ships", which reached gold status. In 2020, they released a full-length Christmas album, A Drummer Boy Christmas. In 2022, they released their fifth studio album, What Are We Waiting For?

The band has demonstrated considerable mainstream media appeal, with over 2 billion streams of their music as of 2024, and appearances at secular concert events such as the CMA Country Christmas and the Houston Rodeo. They have collaborated with other artists on their work, including Dolly Parton, Timbaland, Tori Kelly, Lecrae, CeCe Winans and Needtobreathe.

In addition to their music, the band has been at the center of several films, including Priceless, Unsung Hero, and a recent documentary, No Turning Back, which share titles and themes with three of their songs, as well as the musical film Journey to Bethlehem. A film they produced called Drummer Boy, is planned for release in November 2026.
