Issues’ self-titled debuts at No. 9, sells 22,000 copies

February 26, 2014

Rise Records are cleaning up this month. Following the explosive debut from label-mates Of Mice & Men earlier this month, Issues’ new self-titled album charted at No. 9, selling roughly 22,000 copies its first week.

This top 10 debut is a massive increase when compared to the band’s previous release, Black Diamonds EP, which only charted at No. 96. To put it in perspective, the band’s new album managed to sell more than half of Black Diamonds’ total sales (41,000) in just one week.

Watch the band’s latest music video for “Stingray Affliction” below, and check out AP’s four-out-of-five star album review of Issues.

The band are currently out with Bring Me The Horizon and Of Mice & Men in North America on the American Dream tour, then hitting the UK with Of Mice & Men and Beartooth in April and playing the entire Vans Warped Tour 2014 this summer. Check out the dates below:
