throwback thursday

Way before winning Grammys, selling out stadiums and getting banned from countries, Justin Bieber was an opening act for All Time Low — seriously.

As we flipped through our new Andy Black fan issue to learn more about Andy Biersack, we became nostaligic for this awesome moment from the 2014 APMAs: Biersack's performances with the Misfits of their classic songs "Die, Die My Darling" and "We Are 138!" These ...

With the 2015 APMAs in less than a week, we're getting hyped for this year's show with throwback videos of moments from last year!

All Time Low reflect on their favorite memories and things from the ‘90s including cartoons like Rocko’s Modern Life, Ren & Stimpy and Doug. They also talk about the wonderous world of book fairs where they discovered such treasures as Animorphs and Goosebumps, whose television components definitely could not be trusted. “I’ve watched Are ...

Support it, hate it or live and die by it, we all have our local scene—the community that converges in shady old garages, peoples' backyards and basements, VFW Halls, gymnasiums or local churches and brings together all the the kids whose favorite bands aren't on the radio. Playing and ...

The internet has been abuzz the past few months with anticipation for Weezer’s upcoming ninth album, Everything Will Be Alright In The End, out Sept. 30 on Republic. While we’re just as excited (if not more so) for a new record from these alt-rock legends (and three-time AP cover stars, natch), we’re actually more excited for the band to make a few new music videos. There are few ba...

Musicians are people just like us, so why does it feel so extra embarrassing when we do something dumb in front of them? The AP editorial staff have seen their fair share of humiliation in the presence of musicians both as fans and as writers. Even so ...

This Throwback Thursday, we're taking a second to be grateful for the times we made it out of shows with mere bumps and bruises when things could have ended much worse for us. Everyone loves a good scar story, so we're sharing ours and want to hear yours!  Tell ...

The first time you unclench your youthful fists and drop your own cash on an album is one of those life moments you’ll never forget. Because this monumental event usually takes place when you’re still in primary school, you may reflect on it later with a palm placed firmly to your face (we almost just titled this playlist "Throwback Thursday: The Worst"), but there are no take-backs here

In what promises to be one of our most random playlists (yes, even surpassing the dirty secrets one), the AP editorial team is reflecting this week on the first music videos we ever saw. Some of our picks are older than us and downright ridiculous when you revisit them in a modern context—and that’s the beauty and hilarity of it all. What was ...
