Issues - The Realest (Official Music Video)

[@davidnissim589]

The bassist is really underrated. Easily the grooviest man in metalcore

[@Wheremy-tacogo]

That was one of my first thoughts hearing them also, dude is soo frickin nasty! Tit-slappin goodness ya ask me.

[@miyalapeters2720]

sky is amazing

[@koski6000]

Ikrr! & we can't forget Crown the Empire's new song "Zero"

[@BuLLeT2431]

You feel that groove? That's the slap of those sick bass lines and issues smacking you right in the face.

[@Velopod]

I say this as someone who usually listens to much heavier music, I actually love the Pop influence. It's stuff like this that could really change the direction of pop music in a good way.

[@kellysabo9102]

I totally agree

[@Jay_Money23]

Exactly man! Instead of looking at this as destroying metal, look at it as improving pop

[@thothheartmaat2833]

Javin Maillet finally some music I can try on pants to..

[@Mostimpressiveindeed]

I am so glad I wasn't the only one that thought "This could EASILY be mistaken for an Ariana Grande song..." I kinda like it but I feel like I shouldn't lol.

[@ciscokiddjaramillo5415]

Velopod

[@EvacaMusic]

The people saying stuff like "this isn't hard enough" don't understand what's musically going on in this song.. these riffs are RIDICULOUS, guys are crazy talented.

[@BleedingxRainbow]

their music is like metal and hip hop and pop and rnb and maybe a bit of edm rolled into one. my brain is confused but i like it

[@evrth-angel]

R&Bcore perhaps....

[@legoshi5925]

+grimmiekweenslays or Nu-metalcore?

[@capperith1292]

Its Metalcore funk. Its fused. Like Dance Gavin Dance. They're post hardcore even though they have funk influences.

[@brian883mor]

dude your right on the dot

[@nakitojimo2001]

It's like metalcore, nu-metal, djent, 90's boyband pop+R&B, all in one music style

[@rhdband]

[@electropneumatic]

Can we appreciate how fucking hard the bass goes in this song? Fuck man.

[@ochalmers]

Whole song is sick bro, but yes the bass slaps

[@rileymcdaniel1087]

Tyler taking it back to his southern roots, I like it.

[@deo.strengthspan.project]

I just learned about this band! What a great sound, so eclectic and all members sound agile and capable. Melodically compelling, groovy and dancey, heavy in sections. Great selection of tones out of the guitar and bass, use of clean tones make great contrast against distortion. Just so many great musical choices! Killer track.

[@Esignam32713]

Love the direction issues has headed with their music. The fact that Michael can sing too adds more variety to their songs, and what they have now sounds amazing.

[@rman561]

He could be the lead singer of a band in my opinion. he can scream and sing. :D

[@Corvy952]

This band was something special

[@alastairheinrichs]

The bass reminds me of Don Broco. Friggin groovy fam. Sky straight killing it.

[@noelleamarie5662]

Don broco are INSAAAANE love those guys

[@InfinityOnHannah]

i've been blessed by michael's clean vocals

[@FezzPlaysLoL]

Or cursed... Yikes

[@benarchist]

Not by his "rapping" though

[@FezzPlaysLoL]

+Benlikesdamusic honestly not having Michael scream at all was kind of cringey

[@BlakeMcConnellMusic]

+Infinity on Hannah fancy seeing you here.

[@AmSpam]

6 years later and this song still gives me the same vibes I had when it came out 🥹🖤

[@ScapezMusic]

You and me both 🖤

[@Silencex84]

I dont think I can conisider them metal anymore. Heavy and Hardcore influenced, but not metal. And I am NOT saying that as a bad thing, quite the contrary actually. I think ISSUES are seriously evolving and turning out to be SOO much more than just a typical metalcore band because of their WIDE range of influences and how they handle their experimentation. They are becoming their own entity and I love it. Kind of like how Dance Gavin Dance is SOOO much more than a typical post-hardcore band. Definately one of the best releases this year.

[@charvertorrealba9970]

Silentwolfx84 it's metal, it's Nu-metal with Funk

[@Randolph287]

Posthardcore, Nu metal, R&B

[@drinalco]

Holy shit, this comment could never be more true. Beautiful Oblivion is a showcase of that evolution you mentioned. I quite like the fusion

[@ipwnIRLyah]

its metal

[@JHAN1212]

This band was lightning in a bottle. I can't believe this sound never took off and made them big. Its such a good mesh of styles. I guess metal isn't allowed to have this much fun.

[@mourge101]

"Hey! Who's this guy?!".... Later: "Hey dude sorry I forgot you were in my band, I was drunk as fuck earlier".

[@whendidyoutubeaddhandles]

ahaha xD I was thinking that too

[@LiliSidxXO]

[@winterfrost99]

I'm just glad there's experimentation instead of the same old formula. This is the direction I was hoping they'd go in in all honesty.

[@cleoclark872]

FIRST PIERCE THE VEIL NOW ISSUES OMFG IM BLESSED

[@SeverinPerovic]

This is so so dope, I can picture this album being an excellent jam for when the summer comes around! Love the positive vibes I'm getting off of this song, feels different to the slightly more sad self-titled, which is cool since I'm loving both sides so far, just remains to be seen which one is better ;)

[@pnirse]

SAME!

[@bandsareus9032]

Are you bosnian? Just guessing since your last name is Perović lol

[@SeverinPerovic]

[@tornadoman25]

YESSS I AGREE

[@nelidadejesus9411]

Will always be one of my favorite bands. Like this shit if you've been listening to them since 2012!!!

[@StarShredder777]

Man I know this sound isn't for everybody but I just want to give AJ and Sky a hug for that groovy ass jazzy ass Polyphia vibe. So damn good. Within every album you can hear AJ's progression as a guitarist. So stoked for this album.

[@pilesofpeonies]

Two of my favorite bands release songs in one day. this has been the best day ever

[@jacobmiller5965]

yikes bud. that jazz chord ridden breakdown. like what. I've pretty much given up on the whole core thing in favor of jazz, but like thats nuts. from theoretical stand point holy shit

[@SkylerAcord]

😎

[@Lildrummerboy714]

+Skyler Acord Skyler's bass lines are a huge part of ISSUES sound. Love it! Great job man!

[@Orphen01]

+Skyler Acord I bet you know a lot of Victor Wooten songs.

[@ebenkoen7289]

+Darco Fearless Oi, fuck off, won't you?

[@PapaChip]

Have you listened to new Protest the Hero? Different kind of metal but definitely jazz influence on some of the songs for sure

[@missingprismmeps2589]

Am I the only one who, when listening to this band, gets a feeling of summer? I would listen to Issues all the time on the way to school in May and June, I just feel warm now listening to them in the colder months

[@CittyKat1515]

Favorite band even though they broke up :( please make instrumental versions of your other albums. Love singing them in my car

[@fanrht1013]

Just a ordinary hillarious friendship love story with an outstanding song from Issues

Damn Tyler, back it again with the sweet vocals!

[@Ebbnfl0wMedia]

Ngl this song gets better with time. When this first dropped it was just okay and honestly now it’s one of my favs by them. Shit is so catchy. Production crispy. Ahead of its time

[@MrPureManure]

Met the bassist for these guys on my first time seeing them, he is deadset the best performer ever. His moonwalk is on point.

[@headhuntergaming2299]

I don't think I've ever watched a video so much in such a short amount of time.

I'm so pumped for this album. That slap bass makes me feel new feelings. My body is ready.

2:08 is Tyler's fav scene.

[@HunterKPersico]

lost it when he said I can give you a ride on my motorsicle😂👌

[@javoncolter7150]

Michael's new style is so sick, you can tell by the beginning of the song the album is gonna be heavier than past material. I feel this is giving us just a small taste of the direction they are heading. I love the jazz influence in this song, & skyes bass skills are really put to use. blue walls is heavy asf I can't wait for this album.

[@lilytattooss]

Disliked it at first, just like the first album, but god damn do Issues' songs grow on me!

[@ilockz3192]

Sameeee and I love the song and the whole album

It sucks so much that Michael isn’t in the band anymore man if they didn’t fire him they would’ve brought out a sick album in 2018 and this year

[@nef_]

Glad to see Scout still doing things with Issues

[@ivanbjj]

this was filmed awhile ago

[@CorgiGiant]

Okay when I first heard this I didn't like what was going on- probably bc I'm hungover but after sitting on the toilet for 20 minutes listening to this song I think it's starting to grow on me. It's prob gonna be like the last album where I didn't like it at first but eventually I loved it.

[@willeeuhm]

Needs more of that funky bass tho

[@Dylan-hn1jr]

Can I get an amen brotha?

[@brosiedon169]

just wanna give sky some props on this one, that base groove is funky man!

[@alaris1337]

The last minute of this song is better than anything Issues has ever put out in terms of actual song composition. Fantastic to hear a relative degree of complexity going on now.

It's July and I'm STILL obsessed with this song. It gets me so hyped!

[@taylor0367]

This is evolution at its finest. It is still Issues, but BETTER! They took what they had, added more amazing stuff and made it everything better! The guitar parts are wayyyy better, Tyler is amazing as always but that isn't a surprise, the production is tasty as fuck AND THE GROOVE GUYS THE GROOVE GOES SO FUCKING HARD! Just because it isn't as heavy as some of their other songs that doesnt mean its worst. There only a handful of Rise bands that are actually good and these dudes are wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too god damn good.
