#2. for KING & COUNTRY
Burn the Ships

Release Date: October 5, 2018
Can for KING & COUNTRY continue to build the momentum of albums one and two, or have we already heard the best that they can offer? If the two singles we have already heard are any indication, this one is sure to make my top ten favorite of the year.
        - Josh Balogh

It's a great thing to have a band that pushes pop boundaries but can still be featured heavily on the radio. Run Wild had a little bit of the classic rock band Queen in its grooves, and dominated Air1 and K-Love for almost three years. The first single off the new album, “Joy,” is a breath of fresh air on the airwaves too, and the band's epic live show is not to be missed. The rare band that reaches for the U2, “most epic band on the planet” brass ring while maintaining a humble, “get-your-hands-dirty” kind of faith, for KING & COUNTRY are a treasure.
        - Alex Caldwell

Pop duo for KING & COUNTRY have already released two stellar records during their short run. It has been four years since 2014's Run Wild..., so that can only mean the brothers have something great up their sleeves, right? I'm curious to hear if they'll expand their sound to new heights or subdue it a little and strip back some of the more bombastic moments. Whatever direction they choose to take, it's sure to be a treat.
        - Lucas Munachen
