Editor's note

Issues, Atlanta's troubled alternative rock band

A band that mixed rock with electronics while navigating lineup changes and controversy.

For a quick sense of their sound, try 'Tapping Out' or 'Home Soon.' They're the kind of songs that explain why people stuck with this band through everything.

Issues mattered because they captured a specific moment in Atlanta's alternative scene with their blend of rock and electronic touches. Songs like 'Tapping Out' show their accessible yet textured style. Their story includes the kind of real-world complications, substance abuse, sexual assault allegations, lyrical controversies, that rarely make it into polished band bios.

They formed in Atlanta in 2012 and put out albums like 'Headspace' in 2014 and 'Beautiful Oblivion' in 2017. The lineup shifted constantly, with founding member Jeff Valentine leaving early and singer Tyler Carter's substance abuse leading to a hiatus in 2018. They kept working through it all, releasing the EP 'Diamond Dreams' that same year.

Archive material and source history

Issues formed in Atlanta in 2012. Their sound mixed alternative rock with electronic touches, and they put out albums like 'Headspace' in 2014 and 'Beautiful Oblivion' in 2017. Songs like 'Tapping Out' and 'Mad At Myself' show their style.

The band's lineup shifted over time. Founding member Jeff Valentine left in 2013, and singer Tyler Carter's substance abuse issues led to a brief hiatus in 2018. In 2019, former member Jake Vintsch was accused of sexual assault and removed from the group.

Issues faced criticism for lyrics some found transphobic in the song 'The Realest.' Despite these problems, they kept working and released the EP 'Diamond Dreams' in 2018.
