Alternative Press Magazine is the ultimate authority on new music and style. Alternative Press is jam packed with celebrity and anti-celebrity interviews, exclusive photos, in-depth and (often brutally) honest reviews and so much more that only it can give you.

This magazine is entirely geared toward the emo population. And not the the trend setting type (if there is such a thing), but the look-at-me-I'm-really-deep-and-dark-and-like-to-whine-and-don't-care-what-people-think-about-me-so-I-buy-my-clothes-at-HotTopic-and-am-most-likely-sixteen-or-younger-straight-up emo.

When I was a teenager and in my early twenties, the monthly AP was a prized gift in my mailbox. Since I've hit my 30's it has lost touch with me and I feel my generation. It does focus on new and upcoming bands and goes a little heavy on the whole "style" thing. Nothing really to interesting unless your a teenager or in your 20's and hanging onto something. The one and only reason I'm giving it four stars is the fact that the reviews are honest and a gazillion times better than Rolling Stone or Spin. Though given that Spin and Paste are now my music magazines of choice. I will no longer purchase an AP just read the reviews while I'm at the newsstand.

I ordered this subscription around the end of December and I still haven't received my first issue.

It brightens my day whenever I see an AP sitting in muh mailbox. I agree that you shouldn't give a bad review just becasue a product hasn't come in yet. Don't let the 2 star reviews fool you, AP is just about the greatest printed source there is for music. I discovered almost every band on my mp3 player from this magazine. But I will say, if you're not into really AMAZING music, stick with your local radio station and order a subscription of J14. :P

I as well have yet to receive an issue its been over a month very close to hitting 2
