Their mother and father were both musical - they learned many songs from their father's cover band. At very young ages, they were introduced to music by their father who made them join his school band. Julia played the trumpet, Angus the trombone and their older sister, Catherine, the saxophone.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTheir debut EP Chocolates and Cigarettes was released August 2006. Their second EP Heart Full of Wine was released in February 2007. Both EP's were released through EMI Music in Australia and independent label, Independiente Records in the UK.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTheir debut album A Book Like This was released on 8 September 2007 through EMI Music Australia and sold platinum (70,000) and March 2008 in UK/Europe through Flock Music. It was later released in the USA through Nettwerk on 3 March 2009 with an alternative track listing. The album has also been released in Japan (Village Again) and Korea (Leaplay Music).\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sophomore self-produced album Down the Way saw a simultaneous, worldwide release in March 2010. As travelling has been an integral part of the Stones' musical story, they opted to record in a number of diverse locations around the globe - an old sawmill on the river banks of Fowey, Cornwall, a studio in Brooklyn, a water tank in Coolangatta, their second home (London), and in Queens, New York.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe album debuted at number 1 in their native country, reaching platinum status and becoming the highest-selling album by an Australian artist in 2010 in just two months. The album also hit number 4 on iTunes France after the duo performed it on the TV show Taratata. They have completed their first worldwide tour with all dates selling out and, for the remainder of 2010, the siblings will be travelling around the world for festivals and their second worldwide tour. The duo won ARIA Album of the Year and ARIA Single of the Year at the 2010 Australian Record Industry Awards.\u003c/p\u003e","musicPath":"/music/Angus+Julia+Stone","playStationPath":"/stations/113446141/play","stationId":113446141,"bioPath":"/music/Angus+Julia+Stone/_full_bio","similars":[{"musicPath":"/music/The+Waifs","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/33b/33b809c0e1fd0cc799fb65d47634cc7d_md.jpg","artistName":"The Waifs","artistId":13447,"station_id":113302927},{"musicPath":"/music/City+and+Colour","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/356/35625309af1f72497f11c0096d90bd7d_md.jpg","artistName":"City and Colour","artistId":11628,"station_id":113316722},{"musicPath":"/music/Beirut","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/473/4734b5eddaa6b76cbf8ae18ee9be298f_md.jpg","artistName":"Beirut","artistId":2798,"station_id":113334444},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Staves","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/f45/f454b08260f7ec640a841c3a8eef15e5_md.jpg","artistName":"The Staves","artistId":294660,"station_id":377344914},{"musicPath":"/music/Foy+Vance","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/24c/24c8f086dbc64a189310f4beee5837e9_md.jpg","artistName":"Foy Vance","artistId":380793,"station_id":396347833},{"musicPath":"/music/Patrick+Watson","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/b8e/b8e65ccd508a8a718ba1031ba4dd684f_md.jpg","artistName":"Patrick Watson","artistId":56211,"station_id":259828428},{"musicPath":"/music/Villagers","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/041/0415a9368521410960083a6344fec703_md.jpg","artistName":"Villagers","artistId":56663,"station_id":260057480},{"musicPath":"/music/Angus+Stone","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/4ed/4ed49606dd7b4097fbd8bda82f49242b_md.jpg","artistName":"Angus Stone","artistId":206501,"station_id":336781677},{"musicPath":"/music/Luke+Sital+Singh","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/43b/43b3e1597971e6982cc8ee1c15470937_md.jpg","artistName":"Luke Sital-Singh","artistId":374914,"station_id":395677068},{"musicPath":"/music/Mumford+Sons","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/333/333b136b332ae7d83d482859db555200_md.jpg","artistName":"Mumford \u0026 Sons","artistId":51187,"station_id":229614551},{"musicPath":"/music/Seafret","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/14b/14b361b6b8481a4f9f6b5c4a94b0ec17_md.jpg","artistName":"Seafret","artistId":382613,"station_id":396524111},{"musicPath":"/music/I+Am+Oak","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/e4e/e4e1306f00e19e9f17d93e6ad4d95a06_md.jpg","artistName":"I Am Oak","artistId":391568,"station_id":397958316},{"musicPath":"/music/Mariee+Sioux","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/93e/93e31a8b9023f656f54630c05f2f22e8_md.jpg","artistName":"Mariee Sioux","artistId":107004,"station_id":281862269},{"musicPath":"/music/Glen+Hansard","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/99c/99c0ecb39fbcf9d5c6f7d5a4a5c25033_md.jpg","artistName":"Glen Hansard","artistId":100579,"station_id":280763071},{"musicPath":"/music/Blind+Pilot","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/e45/e458a3344f68f11d27f3616f69ff8640_md.jpg","artistName":"Blind Pilot","artistId":12610,"station_id":115009433},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Tallest+Man+on+Earth","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/6d5/6d512f7a062ab69f63b57189f0786646_md.jpg","artistName":"The Tallest Man on Earth","artistId":11276,"station_id":113836315},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Lumineers","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/55e/55e389601f87ebf20d10131b8b65dd27_md.jpg","artistName":"The Lumineers","artistId":141284,"station_id":288977397},{"musicPath":"/music/Oren+Lavie","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/d0f/d0fb895c1cf94a0c4309442e9f8cae61_md.jpg","artistName":"Oren Lavie","artistId":10467,"station_id":113292503}]}
