It’s been over a decade since artists such as Paramore and Fall Out Boy first graced us with their pop-punk contributions. While many of our favorites are still going strong, those early days always hold a special place in our hearts. Anyone around during the mid-2000s (or invested enough to revisit it online) knows how […]

Since coronavirus has put a halt to concerts this year, All Time Low are bringing their live set to fans for a special five-night virtual event. For the Basement Noise Concert Series, All Time Low will be performing their latest album Wake Up, Sunshine in full for the first time ever. As well, each member […]

Pop punk is often associated with the turn of the century when power chords, skateboarders and forever-young tunes on MTV ruled the scene. More recently, there’s the puzzling association of the genre with pizza that has turned into a giant inside joke.  But the music dates back decades, with staying power that outlasted most predictions. […]

Who among us hasn’t fantasized about living the rock star life? (Well, besides rappers.) Seriously though, who wouldn’t want a gig like that? The tears of the bright-eyed are the lubrication that keeps the rock ‘n’ roll machine pumping along. But what if a life of stardom could be gleaned from the stars themselves? In […]

As legendary bands in the scene continued to mature musically and grow away from the genres that they became known for, newly established musicians were creating blends that sparked new categories for scene music. In 2008, Fall Out Boy released their last album before their hiatus, and I Set My Friends On Fire popularized crunkcore. […]

Side projects have the special ability to give artists the chance to express themselves in whatever manner they choose without snobby genre lords or the (sometimes self-imposed) shackles of their previous works confining their sonic decisions. Sometimes these new bands go in an intentionally more mainstream direction, while other times the word “commercial” is never […]

If you follow astrology, you’ve probably used it to analyze all aspects of your personality. Ever apply it to the early 2000s music scene? Thanks to zodiac signs, the universe has given us a way to find out which 2000s scene classic you are.  Your “sun” sign correlates to the day and month you were […]

In 2007, the scene was rocking harder and louder than anyone could have imagined. Myspace favorites such as Fall Out Boy and Paramore were crafting their emo sounds into unforgettable albums that established them as legends. While staying true to their roots in emo and punk, scene music introduced synthesizers and screamo elements to create […]

The year is 2015. Rocking your “Defend Pop Punk” T-shirt, you elbow through the masses hoping for a prime spot against the railing beneath the Journeys Left Foot Stage at Warped Tour. Your feet fry like eggs on the blacktop beneath the scorching summer sun. Dehydration, not scary viruses, is your biggest worry. Those were […]

It’s hard to believe it’s been nearly 13 years since All Time Low dropped their iconic album So Wrong, It’s Right. One of the album’s singles “Dear Maria, Count Me In” still remains one of All Time Low’s most popular tracks to date. Now, the actress in the “Dear Maria, Count Me In” video has revealed […]

The year is 2007. Cobra Starship’s “The City Is At War” plays from your Myspace page as you organize your Top 8. Your profile picture? A high-angle selfie that captures your teased Voodoo Blue hair. “I’m scene, not emo,” you insist. The Rawring ’20s are upon us, and while we doubt Myspace will make a […]

Summer is the season of pop punk. Sadly, almost everyone’s favorite part of the year seems quite a bit different in the middle of a pandemic. Thankfully, some of our go-to pop-punk bands are fresh off quality releases that rival their earlier work.  If you’re still nostalgic for the 2000s, lend your ear to these […]

Is there anybody who’s not on TikTok? (OK, maybe you know some people in government who aren’t.) But before you go raving about how great that platform is, we’d like to pause and discuss Vine. Remember that social media portal? You had six seconds to film yourself in the most entertaining way and send it […]

By 2006, scene culture had grown roots in every mainstream area possible. Myspace took over as the primary mode of social media communication, and bands spread like wildfire once they uploaded music. It was a whirlwind year, as music became more accessible to a larger group of people, Hot Topic brightened its lights and studded […]

Many of you know the tragic story about the death of Vine. One day it was here, and the next day it was gone forever in 2017. Comedy lovers around the world feared there would be no more videos to join the ranks of “Hi, welcome to Chili’s” or “Look at all those chickens.” Other […]

It’s hard to believe it’s been 11 years since All Time Low released their third album, Nothing Personal. The album, which dropped July 7, 2009, has been a staple in our rotation, particularly its lead single, “Weightless.” The vibrant video features snarky one-liners in line with the Nothing Personal theme and some iconic cameos from […]

In case you haven’t heard, All Time Low are officially back in the wine business. The band have teamed up with Wines That Rock to release their new Summer Daze Rosé. In celebration of the wine’s launch on June 30, Jack Barakat decided to re-enact an iconic Titanic scene with the new wine. Read more: […]

In the words of FEVER 333’s Jason Butler, “Black music is rock music.” AltPress wouldn’t exist without the contributions from black artists who inadvertently paved the way for rock ’n’ roll, which was derived from rhythm and blues.  Today, we want to celebrate black artists who are keeping punk, rock and indie alive and stand […]
