Being a band for 15 years is no small feat. The Maine, however, have planned out the legacy they’ll leave behind since their inception. We’re ecstatic to announce that the five-piece are on the cover of our April issue (#405), featured alongside Denzel Curry, Stand Atlantic, Orville Peck, Bloc Party, Ghost and many more. Check out ...

Late one night, around 2 or 3 a.m., PUP were knocking back drinks after another day spent grinding in the studio when Nestor Chumak remembered he forgot to turn off a system upstairs. When he returned, he announced that there were bats living in the roof, and the rest of the band went to investigate...

It’s another new month, which means it’s time for the next issue of Alternative Press. We’re thrilled to present our April issue (#405) with cover star, and hip-hop trailblazer, Denzel Curry. Check out a preview of the story below. Within the pa...

PUP have dropped another new single, “Totally Fine,” ahead of their new album, THE UNRAVELING OF PUPTHEBAND. Appropriately, the release is backed by an absurd music video. In the video, PUP (in this case, Stefaniel Bobcrat, Nelson Chesapeake, Slad “The Impaler” Sladkozlov and Zeke “The Freak” McLeary) announce they’re quitting DIY pop punk. They claim they’re not “selling out” but...

Mattiel have released their new album, Georgia Gothic. As its name suggests, the record is a tribute to their home state and its musical history. Recorded in a Northern Georgia cabin, the album presents Mattiel Brown and Jonah Swilley as fierce collaborators...

When Bad Brains embarked on their reunion tour in 2008, Devin McKnight fondly remembers the band’s swerve between headlong hardcore and reggae when he saw them at Washington, D.C.’s 9:30 Club. “It showed the breadth of their influence and style, even though it was such a stark change,” he explains over Zoom. “So I’ve always wanted...

This month, Avril Lavigne made her cover debut with Alternative Press. As part of our Modern Icons Issue, Lavigne was interviewed by Rico Nasty (who operates under the alter ego Trap Lavigne when she taps into her punk influences, in case you didn’t know). I...

At 26, Nilüfer Yanya is feeling time more than she used to. Prior to the events of the past two years, the London rock artist was often so consumed in her work that the days slipped by. Now that she’s nearing 30, however, Yanya has been contemplating how to slow down and make each part of her life more meaningful. By recogn...

Twenty years ago, Avril Lavigne began a legacy with her debut album, Let Go. Its release saw her dominate the pop-punk landscape on a global scale, being one of few women to do so successfully. But it also ignited a journey that required strength and resolve to execute her vision...

Mom Jeans have released their new album, Sweet Tooth. The band’s follow-up to 2018’s Puppy Love draws its strength from pop punk’s golden age, the days when blink-182 were running naked across Los Angeles and Green Day were slinging mud at festivalgoers. With their ne...

“Genres keep us in our boxes,” Bartees Strange asserts over a din of glitchy electronics on “Mossblerd.” It’s a song that’s imbued with frustration, condemning the idea that Black artists have to be one thing. It’s also the throughline of his 2...

Within minutes of speaking to Pink Siifu, it’s clear that he’s a student of music who’s bursting with ideas. He mentions Pink Floyd in the same breath as Alice Coltrane, rattling off several more names that delight and inspire him. Like those artis...

After 23 years as a band, Every Time I Die have broken up. On Sunday (Jan. 17), Andy Williams, Jordan Buckley, Stephen Micciche and Clayton Holyoak released a statement detailing the split. Their final performances with Every Time I Die took place during ’Tid The Season, the band’s annual holiday show. “Andy, ...

In 2021, collaboration was the lifeblood for HEALTH. Last year alone, the band linked up with Poppy (“DEAD FLOWERS”), Nine Inch Nails (“ISN’T EVERYONE”), Perturbator (“Excess”) and Deftones’ Chino Moreno and Tyler Bates (“ANTI-LIFE”). Each of those singles sounds unique, taking on distinct ch...

Oftentimes, Deb Never experiences dreams where she’s floating in the air, and she remembers the sensation when she wakes up. Yet, it’s not the idea of speed or convenience that’s so appealing to her; it’s the feeling of weightlessness. It’s that bridge be...

For our monthly 10 Topics interview, Our Lady Peace vocalist Raine Maida details the band’s forthcoming record, Spiritual Machines 2, wisdom gleaned from David Bowie and the song that always makes him emotional. He also revealed that their new album will be released as an NFT (non-fungible token) before hitting streaming services because, as Maida puts it, "it’s the future for artists and cre

Coming up on a decade of making music together, Alex and Chris van den Hoef of DVBBS have a shared language. Since they were young, the two brothers found a love of exploration and curiosity through music. After school, they’d run up their winding driveway to thrash around to Nirvana and NOFX in their basement. Late...

The Darkness may have predicted the future on their last album, but they’ve returned to spread some joy with their new one. “After this last year-and-a-half, who wants to hear a British cock-rock band whining?” frontman/guitarist Justin Hawkins stresses, laughing. “Nobody wants to...

BADBADNOTGOOD understand the beauty of patience. A crackle of static leads into three minutes of winding build on “Signal From The Noise”—the opening track of their new album, Talk Memory—before they finally explode, all fervid fuzz and crashing cymbals. It’s a daring journey,...

Gratitude is the answer to everything these days. Riot Fest knows that inherently. Across all four days of the festival, that feeling permeated the grounds of Douglas Park. Whether it was Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins professing his love for Chicago several times over or Flaming Lips’ Wayne Coyne performing from a human hamster ball to keep fans safe, the importance of this year's festival was
