BreakThru Radio Teams with UpSNAP Inc. to Provide Listeners with on Demand Broadcasts Straight to their Mobile Phones, Including The Slits First Live
New York, NY (PRWEB) November 7, 2006 -- BreakThru Radio (BTR), the Internet's voice of the World's Best Independent Music, announced today a partnership with UpSNAP Inc, the premier provider of free mobile search and streaming mobile audio entertainment, to provide BTR's 5+ million listeners with exclusive access to its on-demand programming through their mobile phones. Using UpSNAP's cutting edge technology, BreakThru Radio will make its weekly and specialty shows more accessible for an on-the-go market of students and young professionals.
After a free signup at www.upsnap.com, users can listen in to BreakThru Radio through a local number provided by UpSNAP, or through their text message SMS capabilities. Never before has it been so easy to listen in on the thousands of independent musicians BTR features every day. From reggae to rock and everything in between, BTR adds new on-demand programming each week that will only reach more listeners due the partnership with UpSNAP.
It's been 25 years since The Slits took hiatus. Within those 25 years a lot has changed, but one thing remains the same: The Slits know how to rock. Ari Up (Arianna Forster) and bass guitarists Tessa Pollitt have teamed up with a new gang of girls for their brand new EP Revenge Of The Killer Slits and performed an exclusive set for BreakThru Radio at Monsterland Studios. That performance, as well as all of BreakThru Radio's top-notch programming is now available to listen online and now on your mobile phone.
