Issues is a metalcore band residing from Atlanta, Georgia. The band's current lineup consists of Tyler Carter (clean vocals), Michael Bohn (unclean vocals), AJ Rebollo (guitar), Tyler "Scout" Acord (keyboard/synthesizer), Skyler Acord (bass), and Josh Manuel (drums). Issues is also well known because of the feud with the band Woe, Is Me. Tyler Carter and Michael Bohn (former members of Woe, Is Me) both left the band due to conflicts with the drummer Austin Thornton, (who eventually got kicked out of the band anyway) and formed their current band, Issues in 2012.
Eventually, on October 2, 2012, they released their first single entitled "King of Amarillo." About a month later, on November 13, 2012, Issues debuted their first EP entitled, "Black Diamonds." They are now set to release an acoustic EP this year called "Diamond Dreams" - but there is not an official release date yet.
On July 4, 2013, the band released a single called "Hooligans." This has been confirmed to NOT be on their full length. On September 6, 2013, Tyler Carter posted on his website that he officially finished the vocals on the full length, and also that it will be a self-titled record. Finally, on the next day, Michael Bohn tweeted that the full length album was finished, but did not give a release date or any more information regarding the album.

“I’ll write a letter to my former self, dear sad ghost, why’d you put your heart on the shelf?”
Where’d you see this!?
Mike’s twitter!
I’m so excited for this album!!! I check this page for something new everyday!
I like the new comments
I somehow feel that this will be AOTY 2014 or atleast close to it ..
I disagree with that. Even though I do want to hear it, I don’t think anything will make it stand out. I think the new MMF + TGI record will be contenders for album of the year.
I hope this album will rock!
You can to listen preview on 7digital Canada right now!
Never Lose Your Flames is on rise’s youtube channel now :)

Leaaaaakk already please!!!!
Any news?
The album isn’t leaked, but there’s an album teaser up on KingdomLeaks. It’s a ten minute track with 1-minute clips of every song except “Old Dena,” which is 30 seconds.
On youtube there has been a bunch of claims with people stating they have the full album or have heard it if someone could clarify if there has been a leak please let me know?
All of them are liars, they make up excuses like “it’s in my car stereo” or “I gotta ask my dude to leak it for me” Just check your leak site sources daily for now, cuz for it to leak now would be pretty damn early. It’s not like we can have epic leaks like the BMTH one again :<
Indeed. but i do believe this album is already leaked from the evidence that i have seen its like these people are making us play hide and go seek smh.
where did u see this?
A site called Post-hardcore has the album and has posted unrealeased song clips to their instagram. They’re not releasing them for whatever reason.
I doubt it, they’re probably using the same clips from this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjcH_wqRF5U
It’s just the clips that are on previews for the songs on certain sites you can preorder the album from.
Nope

see that’s what I’m talking about stuff like this. i don’t under stand how these people obtain these leaks and then rub it in everyone’s faces so annoying -_-“
Reviewers that frequent leak sites like to brag.
Refusal to post + bragging = “I don’t actually have it”. Seeing as how the site is down, they could be just trying to drum up some press for an opening.
Jefrey Star has Issues early, prob cuz he knows the guys. And on the subject of Post Hardcore RU, they probably hold back leaks on high demand albums to gain traction. That’s just how the leak business works I suppose. But on the real, might go insane waiting for the leak to come out.
So many people are waving the album around saying they have it and then they post previews that you previously could not hear even on the album preview leak. I just want this album and I can’t wait anymore! haha
agreed. i can wait anymore the album should of been out months ago lol
There’s a page on the post-hardcore website that makes it appear that they have it but the button on the bottom says “login to download” anyone know if this is a legit copy?
hard to tell possibly but the web page is down and they want you to pay so its kind of confusing
Have to keep an out then. Thanks!
to be honest seeing how high demand this album is we probably wont see a leak for it until maybe a few days before
I’ve been looking around constantly everyday for a leak.. I’ll be sure to let you know when and if I find one
Still no luck with a legit leak? :/
The earliest it’ll leak will be tuesday.
DYING for this to leak already.
Issues have posted another new song called “mad at myself” its not a leak but hey ill take another new song its on rise records youtube channel!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iK8qFw7pOD0
Sounds pretty great
from the album preview this was one of the songs i was most excited to hear. did not disappoint.
Not a big fan of the new song.
i didn’t care for it either. ugh. disappointment.
I like the new song. It’s a different sound because Tyler wants to bring the pop side into it. Which is fine by me because it sounds good in my opinion
Its on kingdom leaks
Album is fucking amazing!!! still buying it when it hit stores thanks a lot<3
I hate to be picky about a leak, but the quality on the audio leaves a little to be desired. I’m buying the CD when it comes out, but if you wanted an essence of the CD ahead of time, I’d just wait for a higher quality rip.
Finally, after all this waiting. Thanks Slade
