"We are thankful to have been selected to represent the greater Christian music industry at the Billboard Awards this year," says Jason Roy, lead singer for Building 429. "It's an unbelievable honor that we cannot describe and we count it a privilege to be amongst such amazing artists in our category. We send a special thank you to all the fans who made this possible by taking our song and making it their own!"

Following the monumental success of its last project Listen To The Sound, the much anticipated new album, We Won't Be Shaken, releases June 4, 2013 and is already garnering strong support from radio and media. The title track and new single tied as the largest first radio add week in Christian music so far this year, and has achieved more than 16 million cumulative impressions to date. At the same time, Roy recently did an interview with the Recording Academy/ GRAMMYs at the historic Ryman Auditorium which can be seen here, www.GRAMMY.com. The album is confirmed to be the cover feature for CCM Magazine's and iBelieve Magazine's June issues, along with coverage from Worship Leader.com, Campus Crusade for Christ radio (Women Today / Lighthouse), Baptist Standard, JesusFreakHideout.com, Nashville's FOX 17 / TN Mornings and Nashville's More at Midday on WSMV-TV.

Building 429 recently completed the Newsboys' God's Not Dead! 2013 Spring Tour and just launched its headlining "Give Me Jesus" Tour with the Rhett Walker Band, Finding Favour and Carlos Whittaker. The tour's three-night opening weekend started out strong with three sell-out shows. The tour concludes May 17 in Georgia.
