Putting to rest their pop image, Demi Lovato has entered their rock era. In conversation with AP, Lovato breaks down HOLY FVCK — the return to their roots.

carolesdaughter has a lofty goal for the new year: bringing back music videos on MTV. Equipped with the nostalgia-heavy visual for her single “Target Practice,” Thea Taylor is ready to take on any television executives who stand in her way. While m...

Nothing beats the first time hearing one of your favorite songs. It's a feeling we never fully appreciate at the moment but then nostalgically crave forever. Fortunately, alternative artists frequently grant us the opportunity to once again hear these tracks from new perspectives through reimagined versions...

"Not all bands fronted by women sound like Paramore" is beginning to become a pretty popular adage in the alternative music scene. It's not that drawing a likeness to Hayley Williams isn't a compliment—it may be one of the highest. But consi...

Band lineup changes are hardly a rarity in the music scene. Between creative differences, life events and personal fallouts, it's pretty common for at least one member to go in a different direction over the course of an outfit's tenure. And that, of course, leaves a significant void to be filled...

There's a lot of pressure that comes with choosing a band name. After all, the last thing anyone wants to do is totally rebrand themselves mid-career. As Jimmy Eat World taught us, a rushed decision has the potential to cause problems throughout an artist's career. Whi...

If you grew up in the 2000s, rocked band T-shirts almost daily and decorated your locker top to bottom with clippings of Kellin Quinn and Oli Sykes, you’re definitely a child of the post-hardcore era.  Now, post-hardcore, while being a specific genre, is a very gray area where bands such as Bring Me The Horizon are grouped with Deftones and Flyleaf. These gro...

The Sims franchise has been going for a long time. Those pixelated people in their simulated homes and their intricate stories have been inspiring and entertaining the masses since 2000 with the release of The Sims for PC. Creator Will Wright put his heart and soul into the games, and it shows...

Flashback to 2006. Boys Like Girls just dropped their debut album (feel old?). You're copying and pasting lyrics from a shady website into every song in your iTunes catalog. Most of them are wrong. We've come a long way since the widespread use of smartphones took hold. Now...

It’s been nearly eight years since Love And Death’s last album, Between Here And Lost, but the project’s return couldn’t have come at a better time. With scheduling difficulties being cleared due to the pandemic, Korn guitarist Brian “Head” Welch, longtime collaborator and Breaking Benjamin guitarist Jasen Rauch, J.R. Bareis and Isaiah Perez have fin...

This year has been utter and total chaos, so it’s more than acceptable to wish we were back to the times when Funeral For A Friend were still together. And it's totally fine to wish Jared Leto from Thirty Seconds To Mars was wearing eyeliner instead of being a Hollywood A-lister. Some...

Throughout the 2000s, women started to dominate the alternative music scene with their powerful stage presence and otherworldly talent. Following in the footsteps of riot grrrls, they proudly represented the fact that women rock just as hard, if not harder, than men...

Leave it to us to create a video for a list that was bound to fuel some fire. This APTV installment salutes singers from the 2000s whose voices shaped the scene. It was a pivotal time in youth culture. The combined tidal waves of annoying pop stars and nu-metal dudes in funny pants were giving entire continents massive ear fatigue...

The first decade of this century began in the wake of boy bands and nü metal, so no one truly knew which sounds and bands would break out this time around. Well, “the scene” became a widely used (and misused) phrase, and bands decided to become more egalitarian.  Read below ...

On their debut record, Birthrights, Belle And The Dragon blade down the boundary between inspired alt-rock and breezy pop. Of course, you might consider this no big deal for any new band. However, at the core of the group are Flyleaf guitarist Sameer Bhattacharya, bassist Pat Seals and P...

Changing band members can have a huge effect on the music, but swapping vocalists can be considerably more detrimental. While a singer’s voice can make or break a band, some have managed to maintain successful careers with multiple vocalists and even improve their sound through a shake-up in the vocal department.  ...

It’s hard to fathom that 2005 was 15 years ago, but it’s even harder to imagine that songs such as “Sugar, We’re Goin Down” and “I Write Sins Not Tragedies” have been spinning on repeat for one-and-half decades. 2005 birthed both classic emo anthems an...

Six years ago, Doll Skin rolled out of the Phoenix, Arizona, desert with the aim of splitting the difference between punk, rock, pop and even a touch of metal into their fast-paced, raw, emotive music. Although they’ve been called “the millennial second coming of the Runaways,” Doll Skin—vocalist Sydney Dolezal, guitarist Alex Snowden, bassist Nicole Rich and drummer Meghan Herring—refuse to be pl
