Issues is an American Metalcore/Nu Metal/Pop/whatever they feel like band from Atlanta, Georgia. They were formed in 2012 by Tyler Carter, who wanted to form a band with other members of his former band Woe, Is Me (which included co-vocalist Michael Bohn, and brothers Ben and Cory Ferris). Ultimately, Ben and Cory weren't able to attend recording sessions, and left before they made any material. They released their first EP Black Diamonds soon afterwards. The lineup eventually became as follows.Members: Adrian "AJ" Rebello: guitars, vocals Skyler Acord: bass, vocals Joshua Manuel: drums, percussionFormer: Ben Ferris: keyboards, synthesizers (2012) Cory Ferris: bass (2012) Jake Vintson: bass (2012-13) Case Snedecor: drums, percussion (2012-13) Tyler "Lophiile" Acord: programming, turntables, keyboards, synthesizers, keytar, samples, composer (2012-15; still works with the band as a producer and session musician) Michael Bohn: vocals (2012-18) Tyler Carter: vocals (2012-2020)Discography: Black Diamonds (EP) (2012) Issues (2014) Diamond Dreams (EP) (2014) Headspace (2016) Beautiful Oblivion (2019)Their sound is essentially a mix of Metalcore, Nu Metal, and R&B, along with anything else they feel like. You can expect clean vocals that wouldn't be out-of-place on Top 40 radio mixed in with harsh screams and breakdowns. There's also prominent turntable scratching, electronica and sampling, where the turntables are treated as a lead instrument as much as the guitar. Other genres make surprise appearances.In early 2014, released their debut Self-Titled Album to moderate success, going Top 10 upon release and were signed on to tour both North America and Europe. Their success has led to talks of a possible nu metal revival, time will only tell if that's the case. They followed-up their album with a second EP, titled Diamond Dreams soon afterwards.In 2015, it was announced that the band would become a five-piece, with turntablist DJ Lophiile leaving to focus on producing music. However, he will still work with Issues, but won't be an official member. They released their second album Headspace in early 2016.The band confirmed in January 2018 that Michael was no longer a member, with various stories disagreeing whether it was artistic disagreements or if he was actually forced out. The band decided not to replace him, and released their third album, Beautiful Oblivion, in 2019.In September 2020, the band kicked Tyler Carter out of the group after he was accused of sexually harassing underage fans.In July 2022 Woe, Is Me announced their reunion with the Number[s] lineup with Hance Alligood on clean vocals. In September 2023 Issues would formally announce they were formally disbanding in January 2024 with a farewell tour. Brian Butcher of The Home Team fame would be doing vocals for the tour. | |

New Sound Album | |
| Issues (Music) / int_22093e9b | comment |
New Sound Album: Headspace introduced more influences from Jazz, Fusion and Progressive Metal with less of their early Metalcore influence, as well as Michael doing clean vocals. Beatiful Oblivion moved away from harsh vocals towards a more melodic sound, whilst at the same time incorporating lower guitar tunings. | |

Metal Scream: ex-screamer Michael is mainly a Type 1, with occasional forays into Type 2. Tyler occasionally uses Type 1 and Type 4. Sky Acord is a Type 2 and Type 3 and AJ Rebollo is a Type 1. | |

Sequel Song | |
| Issues (Music) / int_6298c177 | comment |
Sequel Song: "Tears on the Runway" has two parts, both of them featuring female singer Nylo. In a weird variation however, Part 2 came before Part 1. The former was released on Issues debut album, while the latter was part of Tyler's solo album nearly a year later. This led to a lot of confusion, to say the least. | |

Out-of-Genre Experience | |
| Issues (Music) / int_74ee1c2d | comment |
Out-of-Genre Experience: The final song on their debut album, "Disappear (Remember When)", suddenly switches from their normal Nu Metal / Metalcore style to an A Cappella gospel segment complete with female choir singers at the end of the song. The Special Guest on "Yung & Dum" is... country singer Jon Langston. "Flexin'" sounds more like something from a later-era Prince album than from a metal band. | |

Lighter and Softer: Compared to most Metalcore bands, due to extended use of clean vocals and influences from pop and R&B. In the context of their own catalog, Beautiful Oblivion is this compared to prior Issues material (Diamond Dreams notwithstanding). | |
