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 also included the category for the best live band . The American post-hardcore band Pierce the Veil won this award in its first year . A Day to Remember won this award the following year . In 2016, the pop-punk band Neck Deep received the award in this category.
