They were known for their combination of metalcore, nu metal, pop and contemporary R&B.

The band released their self-titled debut studio album in 2014, which was praised for its DJ-based breakdowns and mixture of metalcore and electronica, charting at number-nine on the US Billboard 200. They released their remix album, Diamond Dreams, in November 2014. Their sophomore studio album, Headspace, was released in May 2016. On January 4, 2018, it was revealed the band had fired Michael Bohn due to "wanting to go in a different direction".[1] The following year, the group released their third studio album, Beautiful Oblivion, on October 4, 2019. In September 2020, Tyler Carter was fired from the band for multiple accusations of grooming and sexual misconduct.[2] The band would remain inactive until November 2023, when they announced they would be disbanding following three farewell shows slated for January 2024.

Issues won the Alternative Press Music Award for Artist of the Year in 2015[3] [4] and for Best Bassist the following year, and altogether was nominated for seven Alternative Press Music Awards.[5] The group was nominated for Best New Talent at the 2014 Revolver Golden Gods. The band performed at various music festivals including the Vans Warped Tour, the Reading and Leeds Festivals, and Slam Dunk Festival.

On April 9, 2019, Issues announced that they had completed recording sessions and tracking for their upcoming third studio album.[38] In a statement from bass guitarist Skyler Acord, he stated: "We finished our album yesterday, almost two years to the day from the first writing session. It (literally) almost killed us in more ways than one but good art comes from conflict. I can't wait for you to hear what we went through, woven into the music we're all so proud of." On the same day, the band confirmed that they would release a new single "coming soon."[39] Before the album's announcement or promotional tour, the group was set to tour as support on American metalcore band I Prevail's Trauma U.S. Tour, from April 24 to August 9, 2019.[40] While taking online polls via Instagram on what the setlist should be for the upcoming tour, it was announced that the first single for the upcoming album would be released on May 3, 2019, titled "Tapping Out".

Musical style and influences

Issues has often been associated with metalcore, having a blend of nu metal,[54] [55] [56] pop, electronic and R&B.[57] AllMusic said the band mixed these genres to obtain "new nu metal", which has also been termed nu metalcore.[58] [59] [60] [61] [62] The band themselves has commented that they wanted to mix metal and "Top 40" music in the same way that nu metal mixed heavy metal music with hip hop music.[63] Other than being labelled as nu metal, Issues has also been labelled as metalcore,[64] [65] [66] "pop/metal"[66] and "R&Bcore".[67] They are influenced by artists and groups such as Korn, Katy Perry, Linkin Park, Michael Jackson, Slipknot, Miley Cyrus, and Kesha.[66]
