Issues is a metalcore band from Atlanta, Georgia. They formed in the summer of 2012 and were signed to Velocity Records shortly after their formation.
History
Formation (2012-2013)
The majority of the band's members originated from ex-members of Woe, Is Me, being Tyler Carter, Michael Bohn, Cory Ferris and Ben Ferris. Their debut EP, Black Diamonds, was released on November 13, 2012.[1] The lead single for Black Diamonds, titled "King of Amarillo," was released on October 2, 2012.[2] The band was featured on the Punk Goes Pop 5 compilation album covering "Boyfriend," originally by Justin Bieber.
Shortly after the band's formation and announcement of their first tour, keyboardist Ben Ferris decided to leave the group in order to pursue further education and a career in the business aspect of music.[3]
In early September 2012, the band announced they'd be hitting the road in the fall for the first time on the "Party with the Devil Tour" featuring bands such as Adestria, Ice Nine Kills, Make Me Famous, and headliner/long time friends Attila.[4]
Bassist, Cory Ferris was unable to participate in the recording for Black Diamonds due to him being unable to obtain a flight to the recording session. He also announced on October 25, 2012 that he would also not be participating in the "Party With The Devil" tour via Twitter.[5] His lack of any possible activity in Issues along with his brother Ben's early departure led to his decision to leave the band in November 2012. Neither brother recorded any released material with the band, as Ben had left before the rest of the band entered the studio; due to Cory's absence during the recording of Black Diamonds, bass duties were handled by keyboardist/synth player Ty Acord's brother, Skyler Acord. Skyler was later asked to join the band after the amicable departure of Jake Vintson.[6]
Upcoming album (2013-present)
On January 12, 2013 the band entered the studio to record a single titled “Hooligans.” On May 19, 2013 the band participated in the Vans Warped Tour.
The band have started to write new material and will enter the studio after Warped Tour 2013 to record their debut full-length album.[7]
