background
On April 24, 2014, the American music magazine Alternative Press , which specializes in punk , hardcore and their sub-genres, announced the first-time presentation of the Alternative Press Music Awards . This was justified by the fact that "the Alternative Press has been the leading voice in this music and lifestyle for 30 years and you finally have a night to celebrate it."
The first award ceremony took place on July 21, 2014 at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum in Cleveland , Ohio . The readers of the music magazine were initially able to vote for their favorites in twelve categories, which were previously nominated by the magazine. This included the category for the best guitarist . Phil Manansala won this award in the first year . Tony Perry won this award the following year . In 2016 Jack Fowler from Sleeping with Sirens received the honor in this category.
statistics
So far, the award has gone to three different artists at three awards. All three previous winners, Phil Manansala , Tony Perry and Jack Fowler come from the United States . So far, JB Brubaker , Kevin Skaff and Jacky Vincent have been nominated most often in this category, but none of them could win in this category.
