About
Building 429 catapulted from newbie band in 2004 to Christian rock royalty
in a single year. When their debut, Space In Between Us, hit the
airwaves, their success seemed written in stone. Not even counting the
album's equally popular title track and the ballad "No One Else Knows," the
super single "Glory Defined" hit No. 1 on eight different charts and became
BMI's 2005 Song of the Year for Christian music. That same year B429
received four Dove Award nominations and was named the Gospel Music
Association's 2005 New Artist of the Year. Their fresh, melodic, rock
composition and clear, candid lyrics combine with a fervent personal
commitment to what they see as their responsibility offstage to their fans
and their ministry. This commitment is clear even in the root of their name:
Building 429 derives from Ephesians 4:29 which, paraphrased, encourages
doing "only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs,
that it may benefit those who listen."
