R&B?

I think that R&B should be included in the genre of ISSUES, because there are elements of it incorporated into their music and sections by itself that is plain R&B. Making the change 173.66.226.50 (talk) 04:52, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

In my opinion, the R&B style that you state is true but should not be a cause of it being added to the genre. I anything, I believe that nu metal should be added to the genres. The nu metal genre is a style that incorporates many different styles of urban music into an overall style of metal. Their debut single, "King Of Amarillo," shows an R&B section with a rapping/singing section by Tyler Carter, Michael Bohn's vocal delivery shows, to an extent, a rap-driven scream. With the breakdown containing a turntable section. Their cover of "Boyfriend" by Justin Bieber also shows a turntable section within the music. R&B, in my opinion, shouldn't be added to the genre as it is not the only urban style of music that is incorporated into their overall delivery. I do, however, thank you for your post, as it definitely helps in my contribution of nu metal to the genre list. Thank you for your concern on this page.

Well you do make good points, the actual elements of the music itself are indeed urban influenced. There is an interview with both the band members AND their album producer here:[1]. They talk about putting "nu-metal inspired stuff" into the music, and even list some bands (Slipknot, Korn, Limp Bizkit, Sevendust) of influence. One could argue that Bohn's screams in both Boyfriend and King of Amarillo are in a rap-like delivery, which (if I am not mistaken) is a characteristic of R&B itself? I don't know, just trying to contribute. Another thing of note is the "Take that" line with the scratching that you mentioned in the bridge leading to the nu-metal breakdown. But I definitely am for Nu-metal to be added. Actually, adding R&B is redundant. Good catch dude. Another thing is that when I listened closely, the riffs during KOA seemed melodic hardcore influenced. Referencing back to the interview where they reference some melo-hardcore bands along with the fact that their guitarist AJ is from a melodic hardcore band..perhaps adding melodic hardcore to the genre list as well? This may sound bias, but post-hardcore/electronicore/metalcore just does not cut it for the unique aspects of this band. Yes they have breakdowns, but many genres/subgenres do. Look at it this way: KOA had melodic hardcore influenced riffs, breakdowns, rap screaming, DJ-esque turntables and electronics (not typical trance/dubstep synths included into bands like I See Stars, Asking Alexandria, and old-ish TDWP), the R&B singing that was mentioned, groove metal rhythms (once again going back in reference to the article I linked to), etc. Do I just have a high opinion of this band, or am I just fluffing a post-hardcore band with nu-metal influences? You are welcome XyphynX9, I apologize for sub-par formating; I don't edit wikipedia often. 173.66.226.50 (talk) 20:20, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

You should edit Wikipedia. There isn't enough users that focus on articles surrounding what are referred to as "core" genres. All-in-all, I feel the genres listed should be Post-Hardcore and Nu-Metal. I do feel as if Melodic Hardcore could be added but I feel like it would need more references. I will, without a doubt, use the reference you sent me as a reference for nu-metal on their genre list though. Thank you very much. And seriously, get a username and start editing. I feel like we could work on the neglected articles of this side of the music spectrum. Thank you very much for your contributions and have yourself a great day.

Edit: Scratch that. Read more into that link. Adding melodic hardcore also. Once again thank you.

Album release date?...

Where is everyone getting the release date for the album in the article? I can't find a source for it anywhere, and it keeps changing... originally it was stated that it would be released in mid-November, then late November, now December 25th (which to me seems like an unlikely release date). If nobody provides a source soon I will remove the date. Beachdude42 00:23, 21 October 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Beachdude42 (talk • contribs)

Genre

Metalcore and R&B are both referenced genres, as seen on the article and musical style section. I removed nu metal due to it being unreferenced. If you want to change the genres, please discuss with reliable sources backing up your point. - SilentDan297 talk 10:38, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

metal band

This band's music is too diverse to be called just "metal". They have elements of R&B, pop, hip hop, and hardcore. Statik N (talk) 17:26, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

I agree that the band's style may be too diverse to just be called a "metal" band, however all of the genres they use within their sound don't seem to hold any similarities in terminology. Meaning we either call them a heavy metal band, a rock band or simply a band.Issan Sumisu (talk) 17:39, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

I think it's best to call them a rock band. Metal is a genre of rock. Statik N (talk) 17:49, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

Bohn and his departure

Greetings!

I am here to just inform everyone to not post anything about Bohn's departure until Issues, or Bohn himself, releases anything about him leaving. Currently, what we know is Bohn certainly is still in the band but is inactive/on hiatus. Until him or the band does release anything concerning Bohn and his place in the band, we don't know about it and shouldn't predict it.

Thank you! NellyOriginPMOD (talk) 21:28, 16 December 2017 (UTC)
