AP 241 (WARPED TOUR) in stores everywhere JULY 8!

About Me


Independently owned and operated since 1985, AP is the older sibling to our endlessly curious brothers and sisters: We listen to our readers; we recognize their uniqueness; and we always meet them on their level. At the same time, we are our readers: We're up front at the same clubs, singing along to the same bands' sets. We're dropping in at the same skateparks. We're ranting on the same message boards. We're buying the same clothes, and making our own fashion when we can't find it on store shelves. We're playing the same games, reading the same books, watching the same movies and lining up to buy the same CDs. We never have to worry about chasing the "next big thing" because, like our readers, we are the next big thing.
WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!
Want to get in touch with us directly? Hit up the AP staff's MySpace pages (all linked here). Please be patient, though, as we get a ton of e-mail and may not be able to get to your question right away. If you're already our friend, leave us a comment. And if you're not already our friend, what are you waiting for? Add us!
Want to subscribe? Just visit the subscriptions page on our official website (altpress.com) to hook it up. If you're a current subscriber, you can also contact our customer-service department here. (Please don't try to write us about your subscription using MySpace mail -- these messages go to a different department.)
Want to buy AP in stores? Just head here to see what stores in the U.S. and Canada carry us. But remember, only subscribers get our special subscriber-only covers!
