Alternative Press Music Award for Best Underground Band
The Alternative Press Music Award for Best Underground Band , in German "Alternative Press Music Award for the best underground band" is a music prize that has been awarded at the annual Alternative Press Music Awards since 2015 . The award goes to artists who, in the opinion of the readers of Alternative Press, are of great importance in the underground music scene and have what it takes to become better known in the future. So far, two artists have each received an award in this category.
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 underground band wasn't introduced until the second award ceremony, along with the award for the best music video and the fandom-of-the-year award . In the first year, the American melodic hardcore band Being as an Ocean won this award. At the second award, the Too Close to Touch group received the award in this category.
statistics
So far, the award has gone to two different artists at two awards. Both previous winners, Being as an Ocean and Too Close to Touch, come from the United States .
