Alternative Press is a magazine that is marketed towards people who are interested in the underground, alternative or punk music scene. The magazine contains tons of interviews with bands, reviews and news from the industry. They talk about tour dates, album releases, new acts and have reviews of EPs and CDs. While this may not be what you typically think of when you think of a teen magazine it showcases they other side of the teen world, the not so glittery side. This months issue for example has a list of 100 bands you need to know, spanning all different kinds of music. There is reviews of new releases from Death Cab for Cutie, Sleeping with Sirens, Falling in Reverse and You me and Everyone we know. This magazine gives the teens that are more interested in whats going on in music something to read.
This magazine would appeal to the boys in the YA group as well as girls (depending on their music choices). It could also appeal to many adults with the bands still being people they would listen to. I know I listen to a few of these bands and wouldn't mind reading reviews of their new releases before I bought them.
