On the heels of more than 24 million streams of their new album Beautiful Oblivion (which received high marks from us, to be sure) and a successful Fall 2019 headline tour, Issues have shared the colorful and striking video for “Rain“.
“I actually wrote the song ‘Rain’ years ago, and somehow, the demo rose from the dead and my bandmates really liked it,” says singer Tyler Carter. “We knew we had to do our Issues thang on it! I’m glad it’s gotten the amount of love it has, because it’s such a relatable and catchy song. Due to all the fan love from the song, we felt that it deserved a video.”
Issues are set to return to the road this week. They will support labelmates Dance Gavin Dance on their headline tour, which kicks off March 12 in Los Angeles and runs through April 25 in Sacramento. Animals As Leaders, Veil of Maya, and Royal Coda are also set to appear. All dates, many of which are already sold out, are below. Tickets are available here.
Issues released Beautiful Oblivion through Rise Records this past fall. The album finds Issues boldly fusing alternative ambition, hip-hop swagger, rock energy, and pop power into playlist-hopping anthems. The band previously partnered with Revolver to premiere the visually arresting video for “Tapping Out” here. Watch the video for “Drink About It” here. Also, fans can enjoy the video for “Flexin” here. It features the fabulous Farrah Moan from RuPaul’s Drag Race.
