Midnights is Taylor Swift’s return to pop spectacle, without losing any of the growth of the past few years. Here are six takeaways from Swift's 10th album.

Jonathan Weiner never set out to be a professional photographer. Picking up a camera for the first time as a teenager was, initially, simply a way to hang out with his friends and, crucially, get the best view possible not afforded to those onstage at the gigs he was frequenting as many as five times a week...

Four hundred issues after the very first book to carry our name ran off the printers back in 1985, we look back on 36 years of our favorite-ever AP covers, the stories they told and the secrets behind their creation. You can pick up an issue here, starring twenty one pilots...

Featured in the June 2018 issue (359), Brendon Urie went on a deep dive into Panic! At The Disco’s sixth studio album. Ahead of the release of ‘Pray For The Wicked’, Urie spoke with Evan Lucy and was shot by Jonathan Weiner for the cover of Alternative Press. To celebrate the...

Ever wonder where your favorite artist filmed that one music video? While the answer is probably some private set in Los Angeles, a handful of music videos were actually filmed in public locations.

Maybe you sing “and” instead of “but” or change out a line altogether. Regardless, it leaves you wo...

Fueled By Ramen has signed some of the most talented alternative bands and musicians to date. With 25 years of greatness under its belt, now is the opportune moment to look back at its incredible discography. In 1996, John Janick joined forces with Vinnie Fiorello of Less Than Jake and brought the label to life...

No lie, there's no greater experience than listening to an album that flows perfectly all the way through. But when the songs transition so seamlessly you barely even notice the track change... Well, that's just unparalleled bliss. Admittedly, we now live in an age of instant gratification in which we're conditioned to shuffle and skip between our favorite songs...

We've already established that there are some surprises that come with RIAA certifications. That said, there's nothing more troubling than realizing that some of the most iconic alternative albums have never been certified gold.

Is there anything more exciting than a good song collaboration? Given all the hype generated by guest appearances such as Travis Barker and phem on Tyler Posey's debut solo single, we can't imagine so. While 2020 was undoubtedly a year for collaborations, that's not to say such joint efforts went unappreciated in the past. In ...

While some bands have miraculously played for decades without a lineup change, most have had to replace a member or two throughout their tenure. We see it all the time, though it's not always as staggering as, say, Matt Skiba stepping into a Tom DeLonge-shaped void. Oft...

The genre affectionately known as emo started out as a wave of internalized rage bubbling under the surface of Washington, D.C.’s Revolution Summer in the mid-’80s. Within three decades, it had permeated the mainstream and changed beyond all recognition. Like it or...

2000s vocalists received an enormous amount of attention compared to the rest of their bandmates. It's no surprise, really. In a scene characterized by edge, these frontmen and women drove their bands' unique personalities. That's not to say that they were all distinct. In ...

There's no denying that for 25 years, Warped Tour was a significant rite of passage for alternative bands. Especially during the 2000s, the festival brought us performances by just about every group we knew and loved. "Just about" is a rather significant caveat, though. Whi...

Despite the complaints from our parents, it seems like tattoos really will never go out of style. Having tattoos is the norm now, with everyone from teenagers with stick-and-pokes to A-list celebrities sporting their own unique ink.
