Formed from the ashes of Woe, Is Me by vocalist Tyler Carter, Issues is a four-piece post-hardcore band based out of Atlanta, Georgia. By 2013 there had been several line-up changes, but ultimately the band consisted of Carter as the clean vocalist, Michael Bohn as the unclean vocalist, AJ Rebollo on guitar, Skyler Acord on bass, and Josh Manuel on drums. Skyler’s brother Tyler Acord, otherwise known as Lophille, plays keyboard and turntables as a session member in the studio.

Issues’s debut EP Black Diamonds was released in 2012. Two years later, an acoustic EP featuring songs from their debut was released, titled Diamond Dreams. Their only release in 2013 was a standalone single titled “Hooligans,” a name often used to describe and refer to their fanbase. Their self-titled debut studio album, Issues, was released in February 2014 and peaked at #2 on the US Billboard Rock chart. Their sophomore album Headspace was released in 2016 and climbed to #4 on the Rock chart.

As 2018 began, Issues began working on Beautiful Oblivion and saw the departure of founding member Michael Bohn. AJ Rebollo and Skyler Acord have taken up the task of unclean vocals during live shows. The album was released on October 4, 2019.

On September 2, 2020, Tyler Carter was kicked from the band due to sexual assault allegations.

On November 17, 2023, ISSUES announced that they would be officially splitting up after 2020 hit them hard. The band had farewell shows in January 2024 for fans and themselves to say goodbye to Issues.
