“Twas the night of the concert, when all through the Well,All the people were stirring, thinking, ‘What the bloody hell? ‘Could this really be Trans-Siberian Orchestra, with their Christmas joy to spread?’Couldn’t be. No way. They’ve been gone since 2010.”“The people were nestled all snug in their seats,All 7,000 and more sat awaiting their treat. And when the curtain dropped, it became perfectly clear,It was indeed TSO! More they wanted to hear.”OK, enough of the poetry.

For King + Country likely doesn’t want to be compared to the legendary secular rock band KISS in any shape, form or fashion. The now-Nashville-based Christian pop/rock duo consisting of brothers Luke and Joel Smallbone, have little in common the aforementioned, especially lyrically. Duh.

Quite the opposite.
