If you look at the classics, though, you’re missing out on some of the best material that these bands have ever made. Thes...

Static Dress have announced their debut album Rouge Carpet Disaster, due for a May 18 release. They also released a video for their emotionally-driven track “such.a.shame.” The new track showcases the band's mastery of a wide range of styles, seeing them craft soaring, rich post-hardcore that harkens back to the harmonically rich early years of the genre. Alternative ...

The dawning of our new normal — a world of postponement, rescheduling and uncertainty — showed us just how sacred live shows can be. Whether they’re experienced in person or at home in front of a screen, the collective energy fostered between an artist and their audience is the driving essence of live music. While we may hav...

As we come to the end of 2021, we're also concluding Alternative Press’ end-of-the-year celebration. We asked each artist we interviewed for our December 2021 issue to answer two specific questions: What was the best thing you heard in 2021, and who should we look out for in 2022? This...

As women lead sing...

There are three types when it comes to songs in feature films: The first is the song that you just know isn’t only going to be nominated for an Academy Award but in all likelihood will win it; the second is the song that’s snubbed by the Academy in a year jam-packed with standard Oscar fare (sometimes love songs from Disney movies); the third is the song that somehow isn’t even considered and migh

From the time that Evanescence formed in 1995 to the present, the group have never had to sacrifice their focus or collective talents on “finding their voice” unlike so many other rock ’n’ roll acts of their magnitude. Instead, Evanescence e...

These st...

There are plenty of adjectives that Ashnikko admittedly avoids when describing her music. It’s not quiet. It’s not soft. And it’s never really been sweet, but she’s working on the vulnerability stuff.  On a personal level, too, it’s almost easier to understand 24-year-old Ashton Nicole Casey by examining how she doesn’t describe herself. She’s not a rising artist with an expir...
