With the soaring melodies, driving rhythms and powerful, personal themes of RUN WILD. LIVE FREE. LOVE STRONG., for KING & COUNTRY has created an album that lives up to the band's name, a reflection of standing and fighting for something bigger than yourself, a mission statement that drove the duo from the first words written for this project until the last note was recorded.

"RUN WILD. LIFE FREE. LOVE STRONG. is a statement of reclaiming our birthright as humans to live a life that is for others--a life that is others-focused, God-focused-and in that find what it truly means to run wild, live free and love strong," says Joel.

The album also serves as the musical journal of the last three years of the brothers' lives, a life-changing time of growth, transition, revolution and revelation. In addition to their professional success, both men married and Luke became a father. Luke also faced a life-threatening illness that forever altered his perspective.

"Sometimes we forget the pleasure that life is," says Luke. "We only have one shot at this, so let's give it our best shot. When you get sick, you are keenly reminded. No one ever prepares you for death; you only ever do it once, and you never really know how close or far you are from it. So the album is our best shot at maybe potentially inspiring people to say, 'Look at what we've got here.'"
