30 Years of AP: David Earle, AP’s First Editor, Guided it From Local Rag to International Mag
Dr. David Earle was the first editor of Alternative Press. A full 30 years later, the magazine and punk-rock never come up in conversation in his daily life, even when he writes scholarly books about periodical publications. But the magazine still informs his personal and professional world, whether he’s teaching college courses or breaking out […]
The Early November in, uh, early November
The Early November stopped by the AP offices yesterday, Nov. 2, to play a handful of new songs from their forthcoming triple-disc set, set for release next year on Drive-Thru.

Early Man Beware The Circling Fin EP [3.5/5]

That’s not to say the songs aren’t good—in fact, many are among the best frontman Ace Enders has ever written. But unlike many bands’ reunion albums, In Currents feels extremely melancholy […]
In The Studio: The Early November
The Early November entered the studio less than a month ago to begin working on In Currents—their third album and first for Rise Records—but with post-production fast approaching, it's clear the band have wasted no time. AP caught up with frontman Ace Enders at his studio, the Living Room, where he says it's been “the most productive we've […]
Eagles Of Death Metal
Eagles Of Death Metal Death By Sexy [4/5] That’s the nice thing about high-school girls, man: As Eagles Of Death Metal frontman Jesse “The Devil” Hughes gets older, they stay the same age. Which is why, presumably, the impressively ’stached singer/guitarist sends a shout-out to barely legal honeys everywhere on the torrid falsetto-grind of Death […]
