*sigh* Falling in Reverse is AP's Artist of the Year

        Well, AP has released their 'artist of the year' for 2012, and it is Ronnie Radke's wretched little five-piece. Perhaps there's been a mixup between with 'most hated band of the year'. Mitch Lucker gets a little corner all to himself to be remembered by, and we're treated to Radke's smug little grin on two covers.
        While I understand it's unlikely this choice was made with the I See Stars scandal taken into account, it's nevertheless a complete shock and disappointment to me that this got through, especially since the band released an album last year and has only really been popular for Radke's douchebaggery in the past few months.
          In any case, AP has a tendency to suck up to bands it badly wants on their tour - Miss May I was featured in way too many issues of AP until they were announced as headlining the AP tour. Maybe they're after Falling in Reverse for next year? In any case, I'm very disappointed in AP for this latest rendition of idiocy - the prospect of a section dedicated to the Woe Is Me and Issues 'feud', and putting Sleeping With Sirens and Blood on the Dance Floor as part of 2012's 'Best Bands' makes me sigh even harder.
