History Music / Issues

* Tyler Carter: Clean vocals and occasional rap vocals. Founder.
* Michael Bohn: Harsh vocals, occasional clean and rap vocals.
* AJ Rebello: Guitars.
* Skyler Acord: Bass, acoustic guitar.
* Josh Manuel: Drums, percussion.
* Tyler "DJ Scout" Acord: DJ, keyboards, synthesizers, turntables, keytar, samples, percussion. (Session, full member until 2015)

** Their second album averts this somewhat. Michael provides some clean vocals and rapping on the two singles released so far.

* GenreBusting: Are they metal or pop? Or are they both?

* NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly: To the extent of GenreBusting. Their sound seems to consist of influences from {{Metalcore}}, NuMetal, PopPunk, RAndB, JazzFusion, hip-hop and electronica.

* SoloSideProject: Tyler also has a music career separate from Issues as a pop singer without any metal influences.

* NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly: {{Metalcore}} combined with NuMetal, ''and'' RAndB music, also with occasional hip-hop and electronica. They themselves stated they wanted to "mix metal with Top 40 music" much in the same way NuMetal mixed metal with hip-hop music. They might just be [[GenreBusting inventing a new genre of their own]]
** The lead singles from Headspace both base themselves around Jazz influenced Djent beats.

In 2015, it was announced that the band would become a five-piece, with turntablist DJ Scout leaving to focus on producing music. However, he will still work with Issues, but won't be an official member. They are set to release their second album ''Headspace'' in early 2016. WordOfGod says it will be ''even more'' experimental than before.

* RapMetal: Tyler occasionally raps in some songs.
** Michael raps in his usual screaming voice at the start of "The Realest"

* StepUpToTheMicrophone: ''Headspace'' give turntablist Scout vocals in "Flojo", and guitarist A.J. Robello provides unclean vocals in "Blue Wall".

'''Issues''' is an American {{Metalcore}}[=/=]NuMetal[=/=]{{Pop}}[=/=][[GenreBusting 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, [[ThePeteBest 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.

* Michael Bohn: Harsh vocals.

* AJ Robello: Guitars.

* Tyler "DJ Scout" Acord: DJ, keyboards, synthesizers, turntables, keytar, samples, percussion. 2012-15

* Case Snedecore: Drums, percussion. 2012-13

* RevolvingDoorBand: Tyler and Michael are the only original members left.

* VocalTagTeam: Tyler Carter and Michael Bohn, both are dedicated vocalists who don't play any instruments on record or on stage. The former [[SopranoAndGravel contrasts]] his smooth, [[{{Pop}} poppy]] RAndB (and occasionally rapping) vocals with the latter's [[HarshVocals harsh]], [[MetalScream aggressive screaming]].

'''Issues''' is an American {{Metalcore}} / NuMetal / [[TheNineties '90s]] RAndB (?) 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, [[ThePeteBest 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.

* RevolvingDoorBand: Tyler, Michael, and AJ are the only original members left and they've gone through five different musicians.

* Tyler Carter: Clean vocals and occasional rap vocals. Founder

* Tyler "DJ Scout" Acord: DJ, keyboards, synthesizers, turntables, keytar, samples, percussion

* BandOfRelatives: The band includes brothers Tyler and Skyler Acord. Also, brothers Ben and Cory Ferris, who [[ThePeteBest left before they recorded any material]].

* ClusterFBomb: Michael swears a lot. Tyler, though not quite as much.

* GenreThrowback: They mix [[TheNineties '90s]] RAndB and NuMetal with {{Metalcore}} and PostHardcore, and have found success long after all genres have died out.

* NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly: {{Metalcore}} and PostHardcore combined with NuMetal, ''and'' RAndB music, also with occasional hip-hop and electronica. They themselves stated they wanted to "mix metal with Top 40 music" much in the same way NuMetal mixed metal with hip-hop music. They might just be [[GenreBusting inventing a new genre of their own]]

* StartMyOwn: Tyler and Michael were the vocalists to Woe, Is Me from 2009-2011, until they were unanimously fired due to CreativeDifferences. As a result, they formed Issues, which [[MorePopularSpinOff quickly became bigger than Woe, Is Me ever was]].

* VocalTagTeam: Tyler Carter and Michael Bohn, both are dedicated vocalist who don't play any instruments. The former [[SopranoAndGravel contrasts]] his smooth, [[{{Pop}} poppy]] RAndB (and occasionally rapping) vocals with the latter's [[HarshVocals harsh]], [[MetalScream aggressive screaming]].

* BiTheWay: Tyler is openly bisexual.

* ClusterFBomb: Michael swears a lot. Tyler isn't stranger either, but his swears are more [[PrecisionFStrike well-timed]].

* XMeetsY: Music/NSync meets Music/LimpBizkit meets Music/LinkinPark meets Music/KillswitchEngage.
** Sputnikmusic less-than-favorably describe it was Music/LimpBizkit meets Music/JustinBieber.
** Alternatively, you could say that it's what happens when Top 40 {{Pop}} and {{Metalcore}} have a baby, with NuMetal as the creepy uncle.

* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: About 7-8. Dips lower when Tyler's singing.
* MoodWhiplash: '''''Hell''''' yes. Your reaction to an Issues song: "Wait, when did we go from screaming metalcore to 90s' boy band R&B singing? Wait, now there's DJ scratching? Is this nu metal now?".
* NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly: {{Metalcore}} and PostHardcore combined with NuMetal, ''and'' RAndB music. They themselves stated they wanted to "mix metal with Top 40 music" much in the same way NuMetal mixed metal with hip-hop music. They might just be [[GenreBusting inventing a new genre of their own]].

The lineup eventually became as follows.

They have a sound that could only be called ''distinctive''. Take {{metalcore}} a la Music/KillswitchEngage, combine it with late-[[TheNineties nineties]] / early-[[TheNoughties noughties]] {{nu metal}} courtesy of Music/LimpBizkit and early Music/LinkinPark and throw in a good amount of [[Music/NSync *NSYNC'esque]] [[{{Pop}} poppy]] RAndB singing, and [[{{pun}} you got Issues]]. However, it surprisingly [[NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly works]] and they've built up quite a large fanbase in a short amount of time, [[MorePopularSpinOff eclipsing Tyler and Michael's former band]].

* GenreThrowback: They mix [[TheNineties 90s']] RAndB and NuMetal with {{Metalcore}} and PostHardcore, and have found success long after all genres have died out.
