Call it luck, commitment or having their own pew in the high Church Of Rock ’N’ Roll. Toronto rock dudes the Dirty Nil are making things happen in all the best ways. They finished their impending album, Fuck Art, during lockdown, having lived together for five years, thereby creating their own bubble to write and […]

You may remember scrolling through Myspace around 2008 and finding it nearly impossible to not hear “Alcohol” blaring through someone on your Top 8’s music player. Studded belts and shutter shades may be long behind us, but former Millionaires vocalist Dani Artaud is still thriving with her own solo project, Snowblood, and utilizing what she […]

Maggie Lindemann won’t be contained to one genre. The 22-year-old Dallas-born singer may be most well known for her buzzing pop-punk single “Friends Go” that was later remixed with Travis Barker and the melancholy “Would I,” but she’s now ready to take on heavier sounds. She teamed up with experimental artist Caroline Miner Smith who […]

Indie film and alternative music fans have something to look forward to this weekend with Teenage Badass’ digital arrival. Though it couldn’t make its film debut at SXSW due to the coronavirus, the movie is now available via independent film distributor Freestyle Digital Media.  The film is set in 2006 and follows the coming-of-age, nostalgia-inducing […]

We know you’re more than familiar with the seemingly bionic arms of drummer Frank Zummo. He’s been the engine room for bands as diverse as Street Drum Corps, theSTART, Mötley Crüe, Dead By Sunrise and Sum 41, making both their shows and records slam and swing. But now you’re going to hear Zummo in a […]

Something unusual happened during the making of Get Dead’s video for “Glitch.” Actually, it feels like everything surrounding the making of the song and the video was unfortunate. None of that was going to stop Alternative Press from premiering it, though. “Glitch” is the latest single from the band’s new album, Dancing With The Curse, […]

The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus are trying to make sense of a crazy time in history. And they’re paying the gesture forward. Today Alternative Press is premiering the official video for their latest single, “Is This The Real World.” The song cautions against the insidious proliferation of augmented reality and fake news, further exacerbated by an […]

In a society that’s constantly obsessed with image and keeping up appearances, it’s easy to forget to be who you are. Decked in black and surrounded by gold, Friday Pilots Club tackle that notion in their latest music video, “Look Better In Gold.” From their debut with 2017’s “End Of It” to their latest track […]

Is it a supergroup? Or is that the sound of 2-Tone ska being piped into the halls of the Justice League Of America? Actually, it’s both. Former Less Than Jake drummer Vinnie Fiorello and Westbound Train frontman Obi Fernandez have created the Inevitables, a multimedia project encompassing both comics and some fine ska music. Today Alternative […]

“I still love that music,” Ronnie Winter of the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus says. The singer is talking about his love of pop punk and post-hardcore. “I don’t ever want to lose it. I’m 37 years old, and I still listen to MxPx every day.” But even as he approaches his 40s, Winter isn’t afraid of […]

Two years ago, the British punk outfit Healthy Junkies made it stateside to bring their wild rock ’n’ roll to the masses. Lead singer Nina Courson filmed tons of footage of the event for Forever On The Road, an epic “rockumentary.” (No, really, it is epic, clocking in at over three hours.) Guitarist/co-founder Phil Honey-Jones […]

Even if you’ve never listened to a single song of his, you have certainly heard Micky James. He’s got the glam-slam confidence of Bowie. The attitude of the Rolling Stones. The danger of the Clash. A look that’s one part Jack White, one part Gerard Way. In a world of pop and hip-hop, James is […]

When Have Mercy announced their final tour on Instagram this past December, no one could have imagined the events that would lead to them canceling their run in mid-March. Brian Swindle remains optimistic, however, that everything’s going to be all right—and his first release as a solo artist serves as the perfect testament to that.  […]

Straight out of the box, contradash was poised for greatness. Perhaps you were one of the quarter-million listeners who chanced upon “blocked” earlier this year. Maybe you’re having a hell of a time getting his earworm track “white lie” out of your head. Well, stop it right now. Because Alternative Press is premiering the singer/rapper/pop […]

It’s been an interesting ride for Aeris Houlihan, the polymath behind Witch Of The East. After touring behind the release of her 2019 debut album, Queen Of Insecurity, she moved to Eastern Europe to recharge and write. And then life happened. While in the country, she confronted a boisterous man in a bar who was […]

Rapper Samy and vocalist/producer Matt Bones are the duo behind Bonelang, whose smooth grooves and lyrical flow are couched in some modern-pop attitudes. Today Alternative Press is premiering “Newlian,” the first in a trilogy of videos shot for their new album, SAINTMAKER. The Chicago-based pair have no time to pay allegiance to specific genres. And […]

Maxim Faster, aka the Venus In Scorpio, is an electro-pop star in the making. Powered by a battery of synthesizers and a voice that’s more rock god than pretty android, VIS is merging the synthetics of the ’80s with boisterous rock vocals. Described as the “mysterious and moody They next door,” the Venus In Scorpio’s […]

Bay Area punk trio Grumpster might roll their eyes if you use the phrase “next big thing” to describe their concise ’90s guitar-rock vibes. Bassist/vocalist Falyn Walsh, guitarist Lalo Gonzalez Deetz and drummer Noel Agtane conjure the halcyon days of alt-rock eras gone by. Alternative Press is premiering the video for “Growing Pains,” which can […]

From Dayseeker’s Rory Rodriguez and Mike Karle comes a new project, Hurtwave. The duo are teaming up with Alternative Press to debut their mellow new track, “Bleach.” Karle and Rodriguez previously dropped their debut single in June with “Sever,” which is the story of someone who can’t commit to a relationship but never wants to […]
