"Frontwoman Tam is the female version of the late Alice in Chains front man Layne Staley. Incredible voice, Incredible range, Incredible stage presence! Fantastic stage show! I haven't seen complicated guitar leads like that for years! I was truly entertained. Anxiously awaiting a CD release!" 


"Hard to be unbiased about one of our writer's bands, but Issuez really does rock! Killer audience interactive stage show! Tam's powerful Baritone to Soprano ranged vocals and guitarist Lee's intense clean leads are what sets this bass and drum driven band apart from the masses. Issuez music is difficult to put in a genre but if I had to I'd say Hard Rock meets Progressive metal."


"The most radio friendly intriguing originals I've heard in a long time. I wouldn't be surprised if Issuez gets signed to a major label within a year. Yes, they are that good!"


"I sure wouldn't want to have to follow Issuez, they are a touch act to beat. Fantastic stage show! True music, no three-chord wonder band here. The lead singer not only captures you with her voice, but hypnotizes you with her sophisticated beauty all while interacting with the audience! A+" 


"Now I understand what all the fuss is about. Issuez really delivers a great performance with great music. Issuez ability to crossover to many audiences in the rock genre while maintaining their own original music integrity is amazing. Their die-hard fan-base is growing by leaps and bounds. Keep your eyes on Issuez, they could be the next Pearl Jam."


"The best technical rock since Tool. Best cover of 46 & 2, even Tool would be impressed! That's why we chose Issuez to headline the Pre-Tool concert! Damn! Don't miss seeing these guys play!"

"You can hear the Tool, Pearl Jam & Alice in Chains influences in Issuez intense originals, but what genre to place them in? Hard Rock meets Nu & Progressive Metal? Incredible stage show! Finally, a local band that has a mesmerizing stage show! A female frontman with an incredible set of pipes."


"ISSUEZ opened with a very intriguing set. Lead singer, Tam came on stage posing as a man. With dark glasses on and her hair put up under a cap, the band started the show with two covers: The Offsprings' "Come out and play," and Pearl Jam's "Alive." Tam took the opportunity to display her confident, well ranged voice. In a deep alto, she moved through the first songs with ease. It was interesting because having never seen this band play before, I thought it was their normal style. I thought, "Well great, they have a butch lesbian as a front woman." By the time that thought settled comfortably in my rotting brain, and the band was ending the second song, Tam bent over, yanked off her cap and glasses, revealing long hair, beautiful feminine face, and blammo! the band went into Pat Benetar's "Heartbreaker" with urgent style and power. Suddenly, Tam was a very different front woman as she stretched into the upper end of her vocal range. It was dramatic and entertaining. The rest of the set was an enjoyable blend of other covers and originals. While Tam was the main focus of the band, she has surrounded herself with three good musicians. Jamie on bass Kelly on drums and Lee on guitar. ISSUEZ is a band that makes for an enjoyable evening of drinking beer and rocking out! WOULD I KILL THEM? Yes, I haven't killed a female fronted band in a long time!" 


"Incredible range! Great Stage Show! WOW! Finally a real female rocker!"


"Awesome cover of Pat Benetar's Heartbreaker! What a range!"
