"The ISSUES"

“The Issues are the perfect combination of heart and skill. They are highly energetic and extremely melodic. What sold me is they work their asses off but look like they’re having the time of their lives. It’s not just what they play, it’s how they play it.” - Lee Swartz, Sony Publishing


"Entertainment Review"

“This twisted quartet serves up unadulterated rock & roll…topped with slightly sweet three-part harmonies. Lead singer Wayne Vokovich has original stage flair, and a voice that could power a small town.” - The Tennessean


"The ISSUES"

“The Issues conjure up images of a glorious arena rock past stirred with a twist of the modern…creating a sound that has one foot rooted in the past and one in the future. Check them out now, before you have to bring your binoculars to see them from the mezzanine.” - Dave Szymusiak, President Gold Record Music


"The ISSUES -"

“The Issues new release is a myriad of well thought out melodies, and just an overall kick-ass rock album!” - Matt Davis, Missouri Press
