Since its debut as a photocopied fanzine handed out at a punk show in 1985, AP has been the publication where the honest word, the correct word, the authoritative word has been spoken on new music and youth culture.

Stepping out at THE AP FALL BALL
Forget about the economy, political fear-mongers and the G20 Summit: We’ve got a sweet, sweet tour happening! This month’s issue is dedicated to the moshers and shakers of our “fall formal.” Get your tickets now or end up lying about why you weren’t there to whatever friends you manage to keep...
THE ACADEMY IS...
Really, it’s not like TAI were ignoring us for most of the year. Between familial obligations, physical therapy and pondering their future, they weren’t answering many phone calls or emails...
MAYDAY PARADE
The ambitious Florida pop contingent no longer have to worry about selling their discs out of their van, but it doesn’t mean they’ll be kicking back and chillaxing anytime soon.
SET YOUR GOALS
Be careful: SYG have perfected their pop hooks and mosh mechanics. We don’t want you blowing out a knee in the pit while they’re playing.
THE SECRET HANDSHAKE
Luis Dubuc learned early on that there are only two kinds of music: good and bad. He hopes you understand that, as well.
YOU ME AT SIX
These British pop punks are coming for the scene. It’s outsourcing we can get behind.
FEATURES >>>
SAY ANYTHING
After years of tenuous travails, Max Bemis has found love, spirituality and a renewed sense of purpose. No, we’re not kidding. Explain it to ’em, Max...
