History
edit2012: Formation and Black Diamonds
editThe project was first announced by former Woe, Is Me vocalist Tyler Carter in 2012, stating that he had plans to create a band with other former members of the band.[7] This included; Michael Bohn, Cory Ferris and Ben Ferris.[8] Before the band started to record their debut EP, titled Black Diamonds, both Cory and Ben Ferris were unable to attend the recording sessions and ultimately left the band. Ben Ferris departed from the band early in September 2012, while Cory Ferris decided to stay with the band until he announced his departure in November 2012.[9] Skyler Acord played bass guitar on the band's debut EP,[10][not specific enough to verify] while his brother Tyler Acord played keyboards and turntables. Both of the Acord brothers were later asked to join the band after the departure of bassist Jake Vintson in early 2013.[11]
The band first started touring as a support act with Attila on their "Party with the Devil Tour", along with support acts Make Me Famous, Ice Nine Kills and Adestria.[12] Their debut EP, Black Diamonds, was released on November 13, 2012.[13] The lead single for Black Diamonds, titled "King of Amarillo", was released on October 2, 2012, along with a lyric video.[14] The band was featured on the Punk Goes Pop 5 compilation album covering "Boyfriend", originally by Justin Bieber.[9][15]

However, he stated that he would still be a member of the band in the studio, and will co-produce the upcoming album, titled Headspace.[32]
Drummer Josh Manuel said that the band was in the studio writing for their second album and that they had booked time, once again, with Kristofer Crummett and Erik Ron in July 2015 to record it.[33] In November 2015, they announced that they will be a five piece, with Ty leaving to focus on producing music and working with Issues only as a collaborator.[34][35][36]

2019–2024: Beautiful Oblivion, Carter's firing and disbandment
editOn April 9, 2019, Issues announced that they had completed recording sessions and tracking for their upcoming third studio album.[39] In a statement from bass guitarist Skyler Acord, he stated: "We finished our album yesterday, almost two years to the day from the first writing session. It (literally) almost killed us in more ways than one but good art comes from conflict. I can't wait for you to hear what we went through, woven into the music we're all so proud of." On the same day, the band confirmed that they would release a new single "coming soon."[40] Before the album's announcement or promotional tour, the group was set to tour as support on American metalcore band I Prevail's Trauma U.S. Tour, from April 24 to August 9, 2019.[41] While taking online polls via Instagram on what the setlist should be for the upcoming tour, it was announced that the first single for the upcoming album would be released on May 3, 2019, titled "Tapping Out".

Musical style and influences
editIssues has often been associated with metalcore, having a blend of nu metal,[56][57][58] pop, electronic and R&B.[59] AllMusic said the band mixed these genres to obtain "new nu metal", which has also been termed nu metalcore.[60][61][62][63][64] The band themselves has commented that they wanted to mix metal and "Top 40" music in the same way that nu metal mixed heavy metal music with hip hop music.[65] Other than being labelled as nu metal, Issues has also been labelled as metalcore,[66][67][68] "pop/metal"[68] and "R&Bcore".[69] They are influenced by artists and groups such as Korn, Katy Perry, Linkin Park, Michael Jackson, Slipknot, Miley Cyrus, and Kesha.[68]
