The spirit of punk rock and its core values of self-expression are brought to life in Good Dye Young’s brand-new line of hair dye products, Metalheads.

The announcement comes alongside a psychedelic music video for the record’s title track created by Australian designer and visual artist Pip and Pop.

It’s easy to feel like you know Willow Smith. Born into the public eye, her every move has been traced from the beginning, labels flung from all sides from those determined to figure her out. At one time or another, she’s been the “child star,” the “alt-R&B soul child” and the “precocious” teen host of […]

We’re sure you’ve heard the phrase before: new year, new me. But you don’t need a new year for a fresh start. If you’re seeking a bit of inspiration to get up off the couch and on the road to crossing off some of your goals, or maybe even a few bucket list items, then […]

Welcome back to pop punk. Come and look around. If you haven’t air-guitared to “All The Small Things” since high school, or even middle school, there’s so much for you to catch up on.  There’s no need to feel nostalgic or pine for the past. The scene is alive, diverse and oozing with new tracks. […]

WILLOW has announced her new album, Lately I Feel Everything, will drop July 16 through MSFTSMusic/Roc Nation/Polydor. The first single off the record, “t r a n s p a r e n t s o u l,” was released in April and features blink-182’s Travis Barker. The alternative anthem gives fans a hint of […]

Pop punk found new life in 2020. Young bands blossomed, while hip-hop and pop acts picked up guitars. Maybe you’re one of the many fans who rediscovered old favorites on social media. Possibly, Chase Hudson (aka LILHUDDY) acted as your power-chord gateway drug.  If so, welcome. There’s so much to see. And if you thought […]

Featured in the August 2007 issue (229), Hayley Williams made her Alternative Press cover debut ahead of Warped Tour 2007 before Paramore appeared on the cover of issue 235 as the Band Of The Year in February 2008.

Flashback to your 2000s scene phase. You’re a day out from a road trip and focused entirely on prepping. Does that mean double-checking your suitcase or gas tank, though? Of course not. You’re more concerned with loading up your iPod with alternative summer hits. Fortunately, even in the wake of widespread technological innovations, some basic […]

After releasing her most recent anthemic track earlier this month, WILLOW has shared the official video for her Travis Barker collab “t r a n s p a r e n t s o u l.”  The 20-year-old singer was inspired to embrace her pop-punk side by iconic bands such as Paramore, My Chemical Romance, […]

At the pace in which music is released, thanks to modern streaming services, it’s no wonder we’ve all grown accustomed (and arguably spoiled) to receiving a new album or collection of music from our favorite artists approximately every two years. While artists such as Taylor Swift, Prince and Ariana Grande have all joined the elite […]

Every music video an artist releases is a labor of love. Whether it’s a DIY home video or highly produced with costumes and epic themes, musicians get to add a visual element to their lyrics and melodies that come from a deep place. A lot of times, music videos will reflect the abstractness of dreams. […]

For a person who just graduated high school, booked a headline tour and released their first major-label debut all in the same year, chloe moriondo is admirably calm. “I’m just chilling!” she says, confessing that she got out of bed at noon: “I’m a little gremlin,” she smiles. She’s rocking a new look that she […]

Willow Smith gave her mother an early Mother’s Day surprise this year. To pay tribute to Jada Pinkett Smith’s artistry and influence, the young musician put together a reunion performance with her mother’s nu-metal band Wicked Wisdom. The performance aired on a special Mother’s Day episode of the Facebook show Red Table Talk. For the […]

Nobody must long for blinding stage lights and sweaty mosh pitters more than musicians. To stand onstage and perform is more than a means for a living. It’s therapy, a chance for artists to bond with a couple dozen or a couple thousand people.  An album plus a tour is the music industry’s most basic […]

If there’s anything that holds true throughout the alternative music scene, it’s an inclination toward vulnerable self-expression. For decades, artists have worn their hearts on their sleeves while navigating conflict, both external and inward-facing, to remind their audiences that, no matter how isolating the circumstance, you’re never truly alone. Such open honesty has been paramount in destigmatizing mental health […]
