Summarizing the end of Issues in a single caption is impossible and the feelings are overwhelming but here’s my best attempt.

12 years of blood sweat and tears led to this point, this end of an era. We’ve accomplished things i used to dream about as a kid. Our first album cracked the top 10, we met fans in parts of the world i hadn’t even heard of, we won a few awards, and made music that is important to so many of you Hooligans. What a loving, supportive, and radically cool community of people we get to be a part of. We’re especially proud that we helped set the stage for more diversity in guitar music. Representation matters and here we are, looking like an elementary school diversity poster and touring the world. Some of yall might not remember how unusual that was in 2012 but holy s**t man things are different now and we are proud to have helped move the needle. Musically we always strived to blow minds and it feels like we may have been early to the punch on Heavy Pop or whatever it is but to inspire so many awesome bands that are now pushing it even further will always be an honor. We humbly pass the torch to whoever wants it.

It may seem self serving to list our own accomplishments but when else is more appropriate than now??? We’re fu*kin bad ass and i’ll miss us.

Issues set the context for our lives up until now and many of yours, and like most things, lasts for a season. The season is changing. This night there were tears shed, hatchets buried, friendships formed and strengthened, and if anything it's now very clear that this is also the beginning of a new season. There’s a lot more life to be lived and music to be made from our end, in whatever form that takes. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the past 12 years because we would be nowhere without you. We will be eternally grateful.

And fr don’t be a stranger. Issues might be dead but we’re not going anywhere.

Issues forever. - Sky, Josh, Aj

If it has to end, it has to end in Atlanta. This is night two.
