The second annual Alternative Press Music Awards took place last night in lovely Cleveland, Ohio – home of the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame, the Lebrons (aka Cavaliers) and, of course, Alt Press.
Hosted by the chipper paring of All Time Low’s Alex Gaskarth and Jack Barakat, the award show, although having a few minor hiccups, succeeded in having its fair share of memorable moments.
