45 million of you tuned in to watch the Alternative Press Music Awards last year. As the first major awards show of its kind in the US, the unexpected was inevitable.
The older I get the more I understand the criticism of Disney’s depiction of social and political topics like gender, race, and government…
Nothing Matters is a record for your floor, amongst friends, to dream during its lows, and get up and dance during its highs. This is musicianship and songwriting at its finest.
Twenty One Pilots Debuted At Number One And My Heart Is Soaring Last week Twenty One Pilots released their second full-length album, Blurryface, which I have not stopped listening to, and they also became the second band from our scene this year to have a number one album (debuting as number one on Billboard). It’s hard to find two dudes more deserving of that honor than Tyler and Josh, who when they found out, took to the internet to completely dedicate their success to their fans and their skeletonclique. As someone who grew up in Ohio, I couldn’t be more… Read more »

I want to make something clear before I continue: this is not about me. This is not about MY experience with Nirvana. This is not how I found out when Kurt Cobain died. This is about, after twenty-something years of avoiding everything Kurt post-mortem, that I was finally able to look into a deceased person’s life and I saw something I’d never seen before. I never read his diaries. I’ve barely listened to Nirvana since… Read more »
Jay Z. Beyonce. Rihanna. Madonna. Kanye West. Over the past few years these figures, among others, have been deemed members of the upper-upper echelon of music royalty: the kings and queens capable of doing whatever they damn well please.

The initial announcement was brief, awkward, full of vague grandiose statements, and it was a bit of an elite circle jerk as they all stood there grinning at each other.… Read more »
