The further we get into our scene “phases,” the more we understand the concept of “love and loss” as it pertains to music. Over the years, we’ve lost a number of our favorite bands to breakups and significant genre changes. Fortunately, though, there are still a number who have stayed active and alternative. While it’s easy to […]

Each year comes with loss and change. 2020, in particular, has been one with an overwhelming amount of grief. It’s hard to know what to say when you lose people you admire, whether you know them personally or were inspired by the art they created. Hold the people you care about close and thank them. […]

We spend a lot of time regularly thinking back to the good old days when we’d devote hours to working on our Myspace pages and searching for new music to impress our friends. The social media website was instrumental in developing our music taste and connecting us with bands we still love today, such as Paramore, […]

At the end of April, Christofer Drew announced he’d be returning to music with a new solo album called Unborn Spark, set to drop May 13. However, the former Never Shout Never vocalist underwent a change of plans and had to push the release date back.  While we’re sad we have to wait, Drew has definitely […]

It’s been a few years since we last heard new music from Christofer Drew.

Today, Drew has taken to his Instagram to share that […]

Lil Lotus grins as he admits, “I’ve always stood out like a sore fucking thumb.” With a sawed-off shotgun tattooed above his eyebrow, a self-beheading angel on one cheek and a bleeding heart inked on the other, the 26-year-old vocalist has always shied away from expectations—with his music being no exception. By utilizing his seemingly […]

Here at AltPress, we’ve learned a crucial lesson. Mainstream America doesn’t understand that the concept of “emo” is over 30 years old. We know it wasn’t invented in a Hot Topic store. But we also know that the Grammys don’t have a category for “Best Emo Performance By A Duo Or Group With A Minimum […]

There was a period of time where we just had to hear a few strums of a ukulele, and we immediately started belting all the words to “Trouble” by Never Shout Never.  Now, it’s been about a decade since the height of its popularity, so it might have been a while since you’ve thought about […]

With the decade coming to an end, it’s hard to believe that 2010 was already 10 years ago. From post-hardcore to pop punk, the scene did not disappoint. We saw major releases (and some temporary final releases) from My Chemical Romance, A Day To Remember, Circa Survive and Underoath, just to name a few. Read […]

Christofer Drew has a lot of life in his eyes.

Never Shout Never brainiac Christofer Drew has endured a lot in his 24 years.
