Northeast Ohio has lost one of its storied entertainment and media institutions.
Mike Shea, president, founder and publisher of Alternative Press inside the magazine's Cleveland offices in 2004. CLEVELAND, Ohio – And it happened rather quietly.
Alternative Press Magazine closed its offices at 1305 W 80th St. in Cleveland’s Gordon Square Arts District in December. The move came on the heels of the magazine being sold in fall 2020 in a very low-key transaction to MDDN LLC, the music media company launched by brothers Benji and Joel Madden, best known for their pop-punk band Good Charlotte. Details of the sale have not been made public.
California Secretary of State records show the company, Alternative Press Inc., was officially incorporated in California in December with its new headquarters listed at 4321 W Magnolia Blvd. Burbank, Calif. Mike Shea founded Alternative Press in Cleveland in 1985 as a way to promote alternative music, which at that time lingered in the music industry’s underground scene.
Over the 36 years, Shea and his team built the magazine to be one of the leading music publications in the country, helping push the early careers of everyone from Nine Inch Nails and Green Day to Paramore, and Fall Out Boy.
