Internet Rock Festival Features Over 70 NJ Artists Banding Together for BlowUpRadio.com's Annual Spondylitis Benefit

BlowUpRadio.com, where NJ rock lives, once again brings together some of the best local indie musicians for the ninth annual Banding Together: A Benefit Webathon For The Spondylitis Association of America.

Spondylitis is a genetic rheumatoid arthritic condition that causes inflammation and fusion in the vertebrae of the spine. To date BlowUpRadio.com has raised thousands of dollars for the cause, and raised awareness of the genetic disease which the Centers For Disease Control says over 2.7 million adults have.

"This is a very personal benefit for me as my wife, Naomi, suffers from ankylosing spondylitis (AS).", says Lazlo, the founder of BlowUpRadio.com and the organizer of Banding Together, "I have seen the debilitating effects of this disease and the chronic pain and discomfort it causes. This benefit is the least I can do to help my wife, and over a million others who suffer from AS."

During the course of Banding Together, more than 70 bands, many from New Jersey’s local music scene, will perform live on BlowUpRadio.com.

Listeners will be encouraged to donate money via a secure on-line section of the Spondylitis Association Of America's website.

Everybody donating during the webathon will receive a digital download of an exclusive collection of songs from many of the bands performing. A complete track listing is available HERE.

"I am very excited to once again bring together some of the best musicians in New Jersey to play live on the air for this wonderful cause."
