Building 429
Their Self Titled Album

Building 429 Self Titled Album

Building 429’s recently released self-titled project is arguably their best album yet. It seems to have the perfect blend of pop/rock and worship music.  Building 429 is a band that has always had a relevant message in their music and this album is no different.  When asked about their most recent album Jason Roy, lead singer for Building 429, said “I can tell you that we wrote about 65 songs for this record, but we worked it down to 10. We made an intentional effort to write songs that were relevant to pop culture but were spiritual as well. I know that it has rock and roll, and I definitely hear the pop, but I think that if anyone has enjoyed even just a piece of our previous material, there will be something to enjoy on this record—regardless of whether or not you were into our heavier stuff, our radio material, or our worship songs. A lot of people who’ve heard the record—several of which I’ve gotten to talk to myself—have said that they weren’t fans of any of our previous work, but they seemed to love this one. That’s really encouraging.”

A song that stands out for Jason Roy as one of Building 429’s best is ‘Not Gonna Let You Down.’ Jason says “This is the first track on this album. We rolled up somewhere in Nebraska last year, while we were on tour, Jesse plugged in and just started strumming, I just started singing. It’s a song about the importance of the church as a place of grace. If our church can’t be the first place people run to when they’re in need, a place where God’s throne is easily reached, then what’s the point of it all? That’s our core statement as a band, too. We want to be all about relevance and honesty. We want to musically present the truths of Jesus. We’re broken, man. There are so many broken people and we’re hungry for help and love. The church is for those people—for me and for you. If you’re jacked up, the church is for you. No matter what your deal is, the church is for you, because God himself is for you.”

This is the first album that Building 429 has recorded with their new record label, INO Records.  The Building 429 album was released nation wide in October after their song “End of Me” made quite an entrance to the Christian radio arena.  This song has already hit the top 20 on the Christian R&R Charts and is sure to continue moving towards the top 10.  This album will definitely encourage and challenge those who listen. 

This album is available now on iTunes, at building429.com or in your local Christian bookstores.
