Biography

Close to the german City Heidelberg, the power trio "The Issue" began their career. The brothers Till (Guitar, Vocals) and Nils Weber (Drums) started in the end of 2007 to play together with Sebastian Weinmann (Bass). After their first gig in a small bar they continued swiftly to play in different german citys: Heidelberg, Stuttgart, Halle, Wiesbaden and Berlin, to cite some examples. Amongst others they played gigs with Stompin Souls, Beat Beat Beat and The Tunics. At the Sound of the Forest Festival in Southern Germany they played as opener for Palkomusci, Bonaparte and William Fitzsimmonns. A distinct presence on stage and diversified show made them differ from the uniform newcomer sound since the beginning.

They just returned from recording studio to release their new EP "Fastness to Night".
