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. The category for the best music video wasn't introduced until the second award ceremony, along with the award for the best underground band and the fandom-of-the-year award . In its first year, the British metalcore band Bring Me the Horizon won this award for their video for the song Drown . In the second award which received now the solo project of the US singer Brendon Urie converted Panic! at the Disco was honored in this category for Emperor's New Clothes .
