Every musician will have to deal with a heckler at some point in their career. Most artists will have some sort of altercation with security. And some will get into spats with other musicians, to the point of warranting a glorious onstage call-out. Whatever the cause, you know you’re in for a wild night when […]

Senses Fail have revealed that their new album will be titled Pull The Thorns From Your Heart.

On a recent episode of the 100 Words Or Less Podcast, Senses Fail vocalist/brainchild Buddy Nielsen gave the most tell-all interview of his career. In the interview, Nielsen opens up about his sexuality, which isn’t exactly easy to define. The singer describes a time in his life when he struggled with sexual addiction and frequently […]

Attila have been on the defensive since the debut of their new song, “Proving Grounds.” In the song, which is about as offensive as you’d expect from Attila, singer Chris “Fronz” Fronzak shouts, “So who’s the faggot now?” Senses Fail’s Buddy Nielsen is no stranger to taking a stand against bands like Attila. (If you […]

Have you ever listened to a song, paused and thought, “Wait. What did they just say?” only to realize it wasn’t a buildup in your ears or an unclear vocal delivery that threw you off, but use of an unexpected language? It’s always a pleasant surprise when an artist steps beyond the boundaries of their […]

Vagrant Records has become a major force in the (currently in vogue) scene of hipster indie rock bands like the 1975 and Bad Suns. But before that, Vagrant was one of the premier independent labels for punk and emo music, releasing classic albums from bands like Saves The Day, Alkaline Trio, the Get Up Kids, […]

After recently parting ways with founding member Dan Trapp, Senses Fail have announced a headlining tour in celebration of the 10th anniversary of their classic 2004 album, Let It Enfold You.

Few record labels have championed pop-punk the way Drive-Thru Records did. In the way same labels like Run For Cover and No Sleep have built a distinct musical community today, Drive-Thru did it in the early 2000s—only bigger. An up-and-coming band signing to Drive-Thru was almost guaranteed to pick up Starting Line or Early November […]

For everything there is a catalyst—that initial spark that tells ignites your curiosity and makes you want to explore further. For most of us, there was that one song or band in the late '90s or early '00s that brought us to the scene as we know it. When the AP contributors got together to […]

Apparently, Trapp left the band way earlier this year (January) but only recently decided to announce it.

With album 10th anniversary tours proving to be a viable source of income for bands and nostalgia for fans, we dusted off our back issues of AP to see what could happen this year. Call it a wish list more than anything else, but a magazine can dream (and bother them on Twitter), right? Underoath […]
