For King & Country, stylized as for KING & COUNTRY and formerly known as Joel & Luke, is a Christian rock duo composed of Australian-born brothers Joel & Luke Smallbone. The Nashville-based brothers’ 2012 debut record Crave, has received much praise, and they were named by Billboard as one of the “New Artists To Watch” for 2012. American Songwriter described them as “Australia’s answer to Coldplay.”
Shortly after Crave’s release, they released “The Proof of Your Love” as a single, remixed and titled “The Proof of Your Love: The Monologue Mix”. The single differs from the album version with a monologue spoken by Joel from 1 Corinthians 13:1-7 (The Message) as the bridge instead of the guitar riff on the album version. The single is currently charting on Billboard’s Christian Songs chart at No. 11 with 19 consecutive weeks on the chart as of the 15 September 2012 chart.
