2020 in memoriam: Remembering the ones we lost

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. […]

10 songs you forgot you had on your Myspace player

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, […]

10 scene tutorials that still exist on the internet today

Now that 20ninescene has passed and the Rawring ’20s are here, it’s time to look back at the old YouTube tutorials that showed many of us how to “be scene.” You remember those videos, right? They always had metal and punk music in the background with free text transitions and hilariously low video quality. Those […]

10 songs that prove Christofer Drew can sing anything

Lil Lotus is rewriting the emo playbook and there are no rules

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 […]

The essential emo albums from the genre’s 35-year history

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 […]

How well do you remember “Trouble” by Never Shout Never?

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 […]

Here are 19 albums you won’t believe are turning 10 in 2020

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 […]

Never Shout Never - Harmony

Never Shout Never Harmony 2010 has been kind of a big year for Christofer Drew. The most hated man in emo not only released his major-label debut under his Never Shout Never moniker, What Is Love?, back in January, just last month he dropped xALBUMx, the debut full-length from his jokey metalcore side project EATMEWHILEIMHOT!. […]

EATMEWHILEIMHOT! - xALBUMx

EATMEWHILEIMHOT! xALBUMx   It’s a pretty sad state of affairs when a bunch of emo tweens can crap out a 15-minute joke metalcore album and it’s more enjoyable than most actual metalcore albums in recent memory. Maybe that’s just a statement about metalcore’s redundancy in 2010, but there’s something more going on here with EATMEWHILEIMHOT!’s […]
