Big Daddy Weave http://www.bigdaddyweave.com with their latest album, What Life Would Be Like, is a collection of songs that might somehow communicate the word placed on their hearts to the hearts of those who hear it. They are signed to Fervent Records.

Big Daddy Weave entered the studio for the fifth time in their decade long career with a singular mission – to create a collection of songs that might somehow communicate the word placed on their hearts to the hearts of those who hear it. It might have been easier to simply try to recreate the success of their previous hit songs, such as “Every Time I Breathe” or “Audience of One.” Instead, the band set out to craft the most ambitious and varied album of their career by doing what they’ve been doing all along – refusing to compromise while stretching the artistic boundaries of what a Big Daddy Weave record is supposed to sound like.

When asked to describe their fifth album, What Life Would Be Like, guitarist/singer/songwriter Mike Weaver characterized it as being “all about expectations.”

“We all grew up in church,” Mike explains. “That is awesome, and I’m thankful for it, but there is also some baggage that comes with that. We grew up hearing people talk about grace, but there seemed to be an unspoken law that said, ‘but you also have to do this, this, this, this, and this.’ Nobody ever said it out loud, but I saw how people who didn’t do ‘this, this, this, this, and this’ were treated. Now truly, you will know a tree by its fruit, but that’s not grace. With What Life Would Be Like we are ripping up our old expectations to get to a place where we can receive the heart of God.”

 Building 429  http://building429.com is a Christian rock band signed to INO Records. They were the Gospel Music Association 2005 New Artist of the Year. Alongside newcomer Andy Kirk. Through a unique partnership with World Vision Canada, each group holds steadfast to the principle of giving and strongly lends their support to the sponsorship of a child.

Every building block leading up to who Building 429 is today has prepared them for such a time as this. The many valleys and mountaintops they’ve faced together have molded them-breaking them, making them, and priming them for what looks to be their most rewarding period yet.

In a way, Building 429 acts as a culmination and a beginning for the trio, a stepping stone in a faith journey through the highs and lows of life on the road and the busyness of music, to a place of solace and contentment in who God wants them to be.

If anything, Building 429’s eponymous INO Records debut is a testament that the band is ready to go to the next level-spiritually, musically, and otherwise. You could say they’re starting over: with a clean slate, a reinvigorated sound, and a renewed message.

Not that they haven’t already reached exciting plateaus in their past 10 years together. Having played 200 shows a year as an independent endeavor, Building 429 burst onto the scene in 2004 with their first project on a major label, Space in Between Us. The album’s breakout single, “Glory Defined,” was a record-breaker at radio, a chart-topper that earned the band a wide mantle of accolades and industry recognition. Topping eight separate charts and declared as BMI’s Song of the Year, the band went on to capture the Dove Award for New Artist of the Year. Jason Roy (lead vocalist), Michael Anderson (drums), and Jesse Garcia (keys, lead guitarist, background vocalist) moved forward to release the next two of their studio efforts, 2006’s Rise, and 2007’s Iris to Iris, which were received favorably, making significant appearances on Billboard’s Christian charts and heavily impacting Christian radio.
