Sounds of the Underground, set to ignite U.S. cities coast-to-coast this summer with a touring festival bringing audiences the likes of legendary GWAR, along with
Shadows Fall, Everytime I Die, Chimaira and Job For A Cowboy, is also delivering fans an alternative to mainstream pop music ringtones and mobile entertainment by announcing today that Cellfish.com's
Mobile Threat Channel is the tour's official mobile partner.
"It's pretty sweet to have a mobile company giving some love to the heavy bands. Every time I look for a ringtone, it's some pop BS. Bring on the Cro Mags ringtones!" - Travis Reilly, lead singer of This Is Hell.
Cellfish.com, a mobile and web entertainment portal where users can share and store their content, created the Mobile Threat channel for those who love metal, hardcore, indie & punk music with mobile content that represents their ultimate mobile lifestyle destination, where you won't find Britney Spears, or any of her friends, on offer for mobile entertainment downloads.

The grand prize will be to win a trip for two to the last two shows of the tour, with VIP passes for the best bloggers judged by Cellfish.com. Additionally, Mobile Threat will provide direct daily tour alerts and messages directly to fans cell phones, including weekly newsletters, SMS texting and video blogging.
