TheBlast.FM app is getting a MAJOR upgrade to its Android and iOS apps.

The apps will soon be compatible with Apple Carplay and Android Auto, which means the full dash experience will be available in the dash!

You will be able to see what is playing on TheBlast.FM stations in the dash…and not have to look at your phone for metadata!

And there will be other extra add-ons that we don’t have now.

But this major update isn’t free.  Our app developer is upgrading TheBlast.FM app for Android and iOS for $5,000.

Like we did with the Roku app weeks ago, we said yes to the work before the funds were raised because we know we can count on TheBlast.FM donors to fund this important project, just like you did with the Roku app upgrade.

So…who wants to help pay for this upgrade???

Are there five of you called to give $1,000 each?  Are there two of you called to give $2,500?  Or is somebody called to give the whole $5k?  Or maybe a whole bunch of you are called to give $100-$500 to fund this.

Whatever the case may be…

Thank you!

And by the way, regarding TheBlast.FM Roku app, if it is not working on your device, you need to uninstall and re-install from the new app store.  If you have a Roku TV and you already had TheBlast.FM app downloaded, it will automatically update to the new app.

 

 

If you are in an older vehicle that does not have in-dash internet access and you want to Blast in your vehicle, you sure can do that.  Our own Colin Cruz has been been doing that since 2008 with a Bluetooth FM transmitter.  Here is how:

1.  Go to an electronics store or an online electronics vendor and buy a “bluetooth FM transmitter”

2.  Plug that Bluetooth FM transmitter into your car’s “cigarette lighter slot”

3.  Go to your phone’s settings and turn on Bluetooth

5.  Connect the Bluetooth of your phone for audio and calls to your Bluetooth FM stereo, the name of which will pop up as an available device

6.  Hit play on TheBlast.FM stream of your choice in TheBlast.FM app or on our website.

7.  Your Bluetooth FM stereo will…or should… find an open FM stereo channel to use on your vehicle’s FM stereo and it will, or should…display that frequency on the face of the Bluetooth FM stereo.

8.  Tune your FM stereo to that frequency and turn up the volume, and you are Blasting on your FM car stereo!

It could easily be called the Immortal Christian metal and hard rock festival as that is what’s on the menu.

The Immortal Christian Rock Festival will definitely rock your face, with Blast band Chaotic Resemblance rockin’ at the fest as are newcomers to The Blast playlist:  Fear Not, which just put out quite a modern song called Fields Of Sorrow.

While Chaotic Resemblance is a blend of new rock and classic rock styles, Fear Not is an 80’s hard rock/metal band whose heyday was in the early 1990’s.  Fear Not garners significant airplay on The Blastozoic Era.

You’ve heard the band Gale Force on The Blast.  Their lead singer Michael Drive (fka: Mike Lee) is also the lead singer of legendary Christian metal band Barren Cross, which plays at the festival with all their original members.

Several other fabulous 80’s Christian hard rock and metal bands play at the fest, including (Classic) Petra, Whitecross, Daniel Band, and Saint.
