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 song of the year category . In the first year, the American band All Time Low won this award with A Love Like War . The following year, Sleeping with Sirens won this award with their single Kick Me . 2016 was now the solo project of the singer Brendon Urie reshaped Panic! at the Disco for Hallelujah a Skully in this category.
statistics
So far, the award has gone to three different artists at three awards. All previous winners, All Time Low , Black Veil Brides and twenty one pilots come from the United States . Pierce the Veil has been nominated twice in this category.
