Biography

For King and Country is the new band name of the Australian brothers of Rebecca St. James, formerly known as Joel & Luke.

”We were born and raised in the southern hemisphere, the land down-under… Australia. And in case you can’t tell, we are brothers.

Since before we can remember, music has been our life’s natural backdrop and soundtrack. Our Father was a music promoter turned entertainment manager which gave us a first hand introduction to a very eclectic mix of music and live shows.
