Issues Drop ‘Tapping Out,’ First Song Without Vocalist Mike Bohn
At the beginning of 2018, Issues released a statement announcing they had made the decision to part ways with Michael Bohn, who handled the harsh vocals in the band. In the statement, they said they were working on new material and a new song, "Tapping Out," has finally surfaced.
Issues are one of the more dynamic groups under the wide metalcore umbrella, embracing a swath of different musical styles which includes R&B, pop, prog and alternative. "Tapping Out" fluidly moves through it all, isolating certain elements while combining others.
"We couldn't be more thrilled to finally release new music," said the group. "'Tapping Out' is not only a highly anticipated drop for us, but lyrically highlights the struggles of trying to make something work time and time again. Eventually, you just want to tap out. Whether it's in a relationship, with yourself, or even with a band!
