Tyler Carter Writes Blog About His “Dark Days” In The Studio

Musicians are under a lot of pressure to produce high quality, original music – all of the time. Fans want it and record labels want it. You write one bad song and everyone is ready to move on to the next big thing. I can only imagine that being the main contributor to lyrical content would be stressful. For frontman Tyler Carter, the pressure is as much as it could be. His band, Issues, is currently working on their second release with Rise Records, which will be their first full length album. He wrote a personal blog highlighting that these are his “dark days” in the studio and how he’s been feeling uninspired lately. You can read all of what he had to say below the jump.

The band will be heading out to the UK this September, then they will play in the states again starting October. Head over to their Facebook page for a full list of dates and to purchase tickets.

Reaching my dark days in this studio. Feeling uninspired when it’s my job to make it happen, is a tough place for me. There is pressure to pull shit together no matter what my emotions or excuses may be. I’m usually full of energy and charisma which spills immensely into my work. Lately I just obsess over things that feel so close but so hard to reach, and obsess over the idea that I’m not delivering the components of a masterpiece needed to make this record next level. I quit drinking, I’m regaining focus, I’m isolating my thoughts from pondering negativity or anything else clouding my visions. I’m moving forward, and I’m expressing these thoughts to anyone reading as some sort of closure or clarity for myself regarding the introvert I’ve become.

Trying to stay a bit vague here, want you guys to be a part of me without knowing too much about the craziness going on in my life. Love you all.
