About

The Issues exploded onto the south west underground scene in 2021, and quickly made a name for themselves with their blistering live shows, raucous tunes and unmatched stage presence. Formed in Exeter just as the pandemic hit,  they’ve spent the last two years channelling the indie renaissance purity of the bands like The Libertines and The Kooks, with a side of surf rock bass lines and scrappy tongue-in-cheek lyrics about sexy English teachers and scandalous siblings. With a little bit of Sports Team, a dash of Alex Turner, a sprinkling of Boomtown Rats and a load of manic alternative charm, The Issues are the undisputed kings of chaotic punk rock’n’roll this side of the Bristol Channel
