Issues is an American heavy metal band formed in Atlanta, Georgia signed to Rise Records. The band currently consists of clean vocalist Tyler Carter, unclean vocalist Michael Bohn, bassist Skyler Acord, guitarist AJ Rebollo, and drummer Josh Manuel. Following Carter's and Bohn's departure from their former band Woe, Is Me, they formed the band and recorded their debut EP, Black Diamonds, which was released on November 13, 2012 by Greg Long. After touring with bands such as Of Mice & Men, Beartooth, and Sleeping With Sirens, the band released the single "Hooligans" and began recording their self-titled debut album throughout 2013. In 2014, the band released their album Issues on February 18, 2014, and peaking at number 9 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart, selling 22,000 copies within its first week. The band has revealed via vocalist Carter's Facebook page, that a new album titled Headspace would be released on May 20, 2016. On May 16, the album was leaked through certain websites and fully uploaded to YouTube.
The 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. This included; Michael Bohn, Cory Ferris and Ben Ferris. 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. Skyler Acord played bass guitar on the band's debut EP, 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.
