about

Issue Sixteen is post-hardcore / emocore band from Montreal, Canada formed in year 2002. Biography: For five years now, Montreal's own Issue Sixteen have been spending their time releasing records and playing shows. They have performed over 400 times in 16 countries, and they arent done exploring the world of DIY touring; they were supporting the Sons of Saturn in Europe (May / June for 40 shows), crossing Canada in August, and hopefully played the States in September. With the release of "...And Starring At Her Hands Ophlia Said..." (their 3rd full length), Issue Sixteen has blossomed into a band with its unique blend of Post-Rock and Punk. Their polyrhythmic instrumental soundscapes bring to mind the sound of Explosions in the Sky while the frenetic guitars and emo vocals are reminiscent of bands like Moneen and the Get up Kids. Mathieu Lachapelles lyrics read like scenes of a synopsis; they are sometimes sung, sometimes screamed, sometimes backed up by lots of voices. The addition of intricate drummer Julien Paradis (the Discord of a Forgotten Sketch) makes "...And Starring At Her Hands Ophlia Said..." Issue Sixteen's most complete / complex recording to date. The album was recorded in the bands own studio; a huge shed that just makes one with nature with no neighbors for a long stretch (studio de Normandie). The band once more took on the roles of playing, recording, producing, mixing, which results in an honest well-crafted DIY album. Mathieu has also been part of New
