Alternative Press
American music magazine
Alternative Press is an American entertainment magazine primarily focused on music and culture. The magazine was originally founded in 1985 in Cleveland, Ohio, by Mike Shea. It generally provides readers with band interviews, photos, and relevant news. In 2020, Alternative Press was sold to MDDN, owned by Good Charlotte members Benji and Joel Madden, and relocated to Los Angeles. In 2024 or 2025, the magazine was acquired by Veeps, a ticketed livestream platform founded by the Madden brothers and owned by Live Nation. In August 2026, Veeps laid off nearly all of the publication's staff.
