Last night were the third annual Alternative Press Music Awards, and it completely dominated the internet. Just in the years prior to this one, fans got the tag #APMAs to trend world wide on Facebook and Twitter, and everyone enjoyed watching the Awards as they unfolded.

Not only did they have a ton of support from excited fans, but the Mayor of Columbus, Andrew Ginther officially proclaimed July 18 to be APMAs Day in the city! That's such an honor, and I'm sure they're extremely thrilled to experience that.

There was a lot going on, from seeing your favorites win awards for things like Best Drummer, Best Music Video, and more, you also got to see some unexpected performances like Papa Roach perform with Tonight Alive's Jenna McDougal. Something else special was they had fans picking between the two hosts, Jack Barakat and Alex Gaskarth, both of All Time Low, to see who was a more suitable candidate for the APMA President. 

Last night, thousands of fans gathered at ​the Schottenstein Center, which is located on the campus for Ohio State University, just for the sake of music. Even more watched as it streamed through Amazon Music and Twitch. Unfortunately, due to internet issues, Immortal Music did not get to watch any of the events, but rest assured. If any of you, like us, missed out, AP has already uploaded some of the events to their YouTube Channel, and is going to be available for streaming in full on Amazon until 7pm on July 20. 

Last night held a lot of great and very unique performances, such as A Day To Remember and Creed's frontman, Scott Stapp to play "Higher", which is by Creed. Rob Halford of Judas Priest joined Babymetal on stage to perform "Breaking The Law" and "Pain Killer." Andy Biersack of Black Veil Brides performed with John Feldmann of Goldfinger, former member of The Used, and current member of VavaWave, Quinn Allman, Mikey Way of My Chemical Romance and Electric Century, to perform. And so did many, many more. Originals and covers were being played in 0ne-of-a-kind ways just for the love and fun of music. 

Then came the main event -the Awards! If you don't wish to have spoilers, please stop reading at this point and go watch the Awards for yourself. If you're more than happy to just read about it, or have already watched and just want to recap, please read on!

Oh, we almost forgot....Jack Barakat was voted to be the APMA President. Can we have this man as the nations president too? Free burritos and hugs for all is what we would get with Jack -sounds good to me.

Yesterday, the wonderful British rock group, Young Guns premiered a brand new song through the Radio 1 Rock Show over in the UK! 

Rest assured though, if you missed it, or are like me and don't get Radio 1 because you're not in England, you can still hear it below. The song is called, "Mad World" and will be featured on their upcoming album, Echoes! The album comes out on September 16, so you still have plenty of time to pre-order it. 
​
Listen to the new track, and then head on over to Young Gun's official website for pre-order information. 

Don't forget too that Young Guns is playing on the 2016 Vans Warped tour all summer long! If you haven't yet, please look at the Vans Warped tour website for all the remaining tour dates, and the full lineup. 

The highly anticipated DVD concert from All Time Low has finally been announced! The band released their first one, Straight To DVD in May 2010, and ever since fans have wanted a new one. They've been promising one for quite some time, but had no information. All they would say is they're planning on doing one, and its coming soon.

Today the Hustler Club (All Time Low's fanbase) can rejoice and be thrilled because Straight To DVD II has been announced! Pre-orders are available now and it will be out officially on August 26! 

 The DVD is actually called Straight To DVD II: Past, Present and Future Hearts, and they announced it with a trailer for the DVD, and stated that it was filmed in March 2015 at the SSE Arena Wembley. Watch the trailer now by clicking here, which will take you to their Facebook page.

Pre-order packages are available on All Time Low's website and come in many different forms. You can get just the DVD, t-shirts, popcorn packs, posters, and more! Prices range from between $15 and $75!
