The Issues (DEAD)

About Me

The Issues formed back in the summer of 2006. After playing a few crappy shows, they suddenly exploded onto the local Toledo music scene, and started booking with Lakefront Ska and Taking on Explosives. In the time that they've spent together, they have played with such acts as The Know How, The Toasters, Deals Gone Bad, Westbound Train, Mustard Plug, and many many others. The Issues have gone through many changes and challenges, several of which has caused them to break up, but for only a short period. After 9 months of not having a steady line-up, they are finally a solid ska band.Pick it up! Pick it up!
