(Nashville, TN) - Two-time GRAMMY ® award-winning group for KING & COUNTRY reached exciting new benchmarks last week with the release of their third studio album Burn the Ships. The time and hard work spent have paid off in spades, as the record debuted at No. 7 on the all-genre Billboard 200 Albums chart, and No. 1 on the Top Christian Albums chart. These milestones propelled the band to their biggest ever sales week and their first top 10 album. Watch the Smallbone brothers discuss how they tapped into their own feelings of forgiveness, desperation, and hope to create their most heartfelt & personal record in an exclusive video HERE.

Joel and Luke Smallbone state: “Burn the Ships, to us, is a special album of personal discovery and honest expression. It shows the truly cathartic power of music, that allowed us to process some of life’s challenges and what we had faced before and while we were making it.  That’s what makes this debut so special to us - how the music remained true to us and authentic to those listening.  A big thank you to everyone who discovered Burn the Ships, it’s success is because of you - see you on the road!”

for KING & COUNTRY has had an astounding past few months as the duo has been featured by major publications like People and USA Today, and their lead single “joy.” became a multi-hit, multi-chart, international No. 1 hit with over 21 million streams. The Smallbones’ upward trajectory has followed them home to Nashville, TN, as the band celebrated their most successful release to date with a pair of SOLD-OUT shows at the historic Ryman Auditorium. They now have five sold-out shows under their belt, including a rousing performance in Dallas, TX at The Bomb Factory, and are gearing up for the last leg of their Burn the Ships | Album Release tour.
