APMAs 2014: Crown The Empire win Breakthrough Band, presented by Yellowcard

[@shayla2015]

Crown The Empire so deserve this they have worked there asses off and it shows love CTE

[@FATPANDAHOLDINGATACO]

I voted for Issues, but I will admit that they aren't really a breakthrough since Michael and Tyler are already recognized in the scene. Props to CTE! Hella deserved that award and their new album is awesome too!

[@Kait16xo]

Looking back at this, it’s so trippy seeing crown beating a band as big as TØP

[@itsMoombah]

Crown the empire deserved it. Been following these guys since they just started on youtube

[@CheyenneAlexisB2]

fuck yeah my favorite band won :D

[@felixnarciso4730]

same ^_^

[@sorryimrose145]

SO HAPPY CTE GOT THE AWARD IM A FOREVER RUNWAY

[@hiorheyjuliet-9780]

Every nominee won in my heart tbh, they've all worked so damn hard to get where they are and they're all winners.

[@MultiBands21]

They totally deserve it. They've worked their butts off.

[@BxMxTxH15]

I wanted either Issues or CTE to win, so it's all good.

[@stefscarlet3198]

Is the orchestra playing the beginning of Rise of the Runaways???

[@Jooltville]

Yep!

[@nicolebrooke5198]

If you're all going to complain that Crown The Empire won, maybe you fellow 'fans' should have voted more for your beloved band. Doesn't matter if you think 'Issues deserved it more', guess what, Crown the Empires fans believed they deserved it, hence why they won it........ God so much negativity.

[@Honeybadgerrs]

I love every band nominated but super happy for CTE

[@xent8]

I rememvber voting to cte,tssf,tcm and issues. This award is the hardest to choose

[@lavaandblackowls]

Not saying anyone deserves an award more than anyone else, but I wanted twenty one pilots to win so, so bad. I think they worked really hard for so many years and finally got recognition this year.

[@penguingengar7187]

Let's be honest, letlive. deserves every award.

[@lysilove4751]

WHERE IS THE VIDEO FOR BEST BASSIST

[@scarlettm.1460]

I'm in love with crown the empire, I'm so glad they won but I instantly screamed when I saw twenty one pilots

[@rachaelbvb1]

props to them for bringing brendan up, that was cool

[@isabelburrows9889]

Is that their manager?

[@rachaelbvb1]

he is their song writer

[@isabelburrows9889]

rachael hughes yh I just google it he said that he is like the seventh member of cte

[@rachaelbvb1]

yeah he used to be in the band back in the day

[@estherjohnson9296]

YESS CTE deserved it !!!

[@daimdamia707]

oh my god i love you guys

[@faithhm6612]

i love cte but why did issues not win

[@theabacross1581]

Crown The Empire welled deserved

[@SavannahHatley]

Aw what about the story so far!??

[@madisongray7344]

They deserved it! Props to CTE :D

[@Angie-ms9fs]

issues sucks!!! Cmon guys, CTE really deserved this, are the best.

[@SnipeFuzionzZ]

Ty

[@hardCOREmonkyman]

TSSF should have won

[@CarnageCandyy]

They were the only band on that list i really like, but I think any of them could have won, because we've all heard of just about all of them.

[@tenzia_]

LOVE YALL

[@whyangelwhy2220]

They're all basically the same for sounding alike besides TSSF and 21p

[@crowntheundead2807]

I love CTE

[@ztiredz9298]

What the shit.TSSF should've won this award.

[@themychar2356]

Ikr? No love for the pop punk scene.

[@dannyaraya8017]

The Story So Far were robbed. they're on the main stage of Warped Tour this year

[@jadehershey]

Ya but so is CTE, and they worked their butts off this year.

[@diamondpenguinz2896]

I feel like TØP should have one it, considering they started being recognized after Vessel, but I'm happy CTE won ^-^

[@gaby101gc]

Myka relocate should of been at least nominated

[@Maude02000]

Twenty One Pilots deserved this so much more. There's only of them and they can still pull off a stunning live show and their album was amazing

[@SnipeFuzionzZ]

TØP are fucking awful piss off. They're music is shit, Tyler can't sing or rap be just talks. They deserve nothing.

[@Maude02000]

+Link dude this is from two years ago...my opinion of them is different now but pre blurryface twenty one pilots is really good. Also Tyler Joseph does not just talk, clearly you haven't listened to them enough to have an opinion if that's what you think.

[@Eddie-97]

When CTE comes up who's the extra guy with them??

[@DeeJMcKee]

Brendon Barone he helps write songs for them

[@Eddie-97]

Oh

[@DaddyDseL]

I think he was also in the band more at the beginning doing on stage work but I could be wrong

[@DeeJMcKee]

***** i believe he was also there original drummer i dodnt remember for sure tho

[@ImInAHailOfBullets]

His name is Brendon Barone, he is the bands manager. :)

[@lauramartin1644]

it should've been letlive but actually any other of the nominees deserved it better than cte in my opinion

[@ians8855]

letlive. should've gotten this.

[@lyriclike_illuminati5395]

My love was with twentyonepilots

[@ech1995]

only came here to see Mark Hoppus

[@itsMoombah]

Somewhere austin duncan is crying

[@xXxParamore14xXx]

hahahaha did anyone else notice that Dave was about to say something at the end but they ran out of time? xD

[@AleinDudeSpartan]

i support the color morale....

[@TheGoldenPickle]

What song is the orchestra playing when CTE comes on stage? I can't figure it out

[@angelsanchez2929]

Rise Of The Runaways

[@TheGoldenPickle]

Thank you! I just couldn't figure it out

[@Jordymonn]

I just wanted issues to win so bad ):

[@98babycakes]

Issues?

[@jilliennelaque]

how did issues not win? um ok

[@SnipeFuzionzZ]

Cause issues are shit

[@ryannatalemusic]

Link exactly

[@joeyj7683]

Some people just vote for their favorite band. That's why we have a bunch of fangirls complaining about sand in their vagina. Crown the Empire was a pure example of a breakthrough band.

[@PatyLatorre]

twenty one pilots

[@Jordymonn]

Issues or tssf deserved it dammit

[@SnipeFuzionzZ]

No CTE deserved it.

[@AggronsCave]

All of the butt hurt kids in the comments is amazing. The only reason people wanted Issues to win is because of their little cover boy Tyler. They don't compare to any of the bands. I'm ready for the hate comments so bring em

[@OmfgHiii]

twenty one pilots and issues though. crown the empire is more established; not fair.

[@JonnyBman]

Look at Taddie xD he looks like a blind person

[@leealex5976]

Gotta point out the orchestra. Work on the shifting 😉 for god sake. Even though this is years ago it still bothers me a bit

[@rottenopera]

I'm sorry but letlive. was robbed. They deserved this award because over the years I have seen letlive. evolve into something huge. I remember them playing countless shows in a small venue (i.e Chain Reaction) and now they are playing sold out shows. It's incredible. Don't get me wrong CTE is probably a great band, but in my opinion letlive. should have won. They worked real hard to get where they are now. Congrats to CTE though.

[@Michaelrack94]

Should've voted then. Cte Definately did more work over the couple years hence working their asses off to get the awards

[@Michaelrack94]

Let's stop with the "(bands name) should won, omg cte is trash" how about you respect the fact that they did what they did to accomplish this award, whether you like them or not it's an award judge by a voting system. Think the band that IN YOUR OPINION should've one, you should vote next year then and If they don't then a vaster majority didn't agree with your opinion. 90% of these comments sound like Kanye stealing the mic hahahaha

[@river_snow]

Issues def deserved. All the wins for this show were fucked because it was children voting.

[@nicolebrooke5198]

Or Crown the Empires fans are more devoted. Get over it, holy cow. Hahahaha.

[@SnipeFuzionzZ]

Issues are fucking awful, piss off

[@koltoncarnes]

half of issues was in a a relativley succesful band before they formed. get the fuck out of here with that shit. Tssf, or let live should have taken this award as much as i love cte, one of those bands should have walked away with it.

[@JonesTDWPJones]

CTE really......The Color Morale is way better ...

[@StrifeX13]

You know it doesn't matter who's better in this...right?

[@austinwake9880]

And issues is better than both!

[@HectorGarcia-ni6ip]

It's Not Bout Whose Better , It's Bout Who Worked Their Ass Hard To Be Good Ok So Just Stfu Cte Worked Hard

[@SnipeFuzionzZ]

+Austin Wake Issues are fucking awful fuck off

[@dinglebopp]

CTE is actually way better than Color Morale🤦‍♂️

[@gaby101gc]

Wtf is wrong with the depressive music this is supposed to be about rock music why are they playing that ?

[@mistaTHIRTEEN]

Letlive. was the only intersting band that got nominated. All the others were once again just generic metalcore, with the exception of Twentyone Pilots...which is just bad rap.

[@missing4eva]

How did Crown The Empire win? I've seen this band live once, and they were shit. :P I mean they make ok studio music, just live. No. :( Twenty one pilots should have won....IMO

[@SnipeFuzionzZ]

How can you say Crown are shit and praise TØP? Twentyone pilots make the worst music on the fucking the planet. They're a fucking dreadful band for angsty teen girls from tumblr who think they're special. Fuck off 🖕🏼
